The Piano Sonata No. 25 in G major, Op. 79, was composed by Ludwig van Beethoven in 1809. It is alternatively titled "Cuckoo" or "Sonatina," and it is notable for its shortness.^[1] A typical performance lasts only about nine minutes.^[2] The work is in three movements: a fast-paced Presto alla tedesca, a slower Andante, and a lively Vivace.
