This work was slow to gain favour with musicians, due to its harmonic complexity and intricate form. Arthur Hedley was one of the first critics to speak positively of the work, writing in 1947 that it 'works on the hearer's imagination with a power of suggestion equaled only by the F minor Fantasy or the fourth Ballade', although Arthur Rubinstein, Leff Pouishnoff, Claudio Arrau and Vladimir Horowitz had been including it in their programs some decades earlier.
It is intimately indebted to the polonaise for its metre, much of its rhythm, and some of its melodic character, but the fantaisie is the operative formal paradigm, and Chopin is said to have referred initially to the piece only as a Fantasy. Parallels with the Fantaisie in F minor include the work's overall tonality, A-flat, the key of its slower middle section, B major, and the motive of the descending fourth.

Große Sonate für das Hammerklavier Op. 106
Beethoven 32 Sonata recording project. Mosfilm Studios.
I. Allegro
II. Scherzo: Assai vivace
III. Adagio sostenuto
IV. Introduzione: Largo... Allegro – Fuga: Allegro risoluto
The scherzo was published in 1843. Unlike the preceding three scherzi (Op. 20, Op. 31, Op. 39), the E-major is generally calmer in temperament, though it still possesses some exceptionally passionate and dramatic moments. The scherzo is in sonata rondo form, moving to a trio in C-sharp minor, that is based on a Polish folk song. It is the only one of Chopin's four scherzos primarily in a major key.
***As per Wiki article on this work
Beethoven's previous piano sonata, popularly known as Les Adieux, was composed almost five years before Op. 90. Beethoven's autograph survives and is dated August 16. The sonata was published almost a year later, in June 1815, by S. A. Steiner, after Beethoven made a few corrections.Beethoven's letter to Prince Moritz von Lichnowsky, sent in September 1814, explains the dedication:
I had a delightful walk yesterday with a friend in the Brühl, and in the course of our friendly chat you were particularly mentioned, and lo! and behold! on my return I found your kind letter. I see you are resolved to continue to load me with benefits. As I am unwilling you should suppose that a step I have already taken is prompted by your recent favors, or by any motive of the sort, I must tell you that a sonata of mine is about to appear, dedicated to you. I wished to give you a surprise, as this dedication has been long designed for you, but your letter of yesterday induces me to name the fact. I required no new motive thus publicly to testify my sense of your friendship and kindness.
Beethoven's friend and biographer Anton Schindler reported that the sonata's two movements were to be titled Kampf zwischen Kopf und Herz ("A Contest Between Head and Heart") and Conversation mit der Geliebten ("Conversation with the Beloved"), respectively, and that the sonata as a whole referred to Moritz's romance with a woman he was thinking of marrying. Schindler's explanation first appeared in his 1842 book Beethoven in Paris and has been repeated in several other books. Later studies showed that the story was almost certainly invented by Schindler, at least in part, and that he went so far as to forge an entry in one of Beethoven's conversation books to validate the anecdote.

He was like a Texan in Boston. Deep deep province....
The sonata is titled by the composer "in Germanic style" with all the charming stereotypes, including a real Black Forest cuckoo clock.
The little slow middle movement, however, is a real gem of tenderness , and probably, homesickness, after all...

It has been a terrible year for all of us, and it's not letting go. Will our lives return to normal? Or it will be a "new normal" - empty streets, closed cafes, emtpy seats in concert halls, private concerts for privileged few and "virtual experience" - for the rest?
A musician, an artist, a tour guide - will our skills, our talents be needed ,or - as one politician suggested - we need to look for new jobs? I always believed that music is NOT entertainment, it has healing powers for those in need, not very different from religion. I hope I am right.
Love to you all! ❤️ We shall overcome.
