The Sonata in G minor, Op. 39 was Eberl’s last composition, A. Duane White described it as “his most outstanding work for piano solo”, and “a significant forerunner of the Romantic era” (<i>New Grove</i>). Its formal innovations include a slow movement in the remote key of E major (with hints of Field and Chopin as well as Beethoven’s “Waldstein” Sonata), which also makes a “cyclic” return in the course of the finale, and the use of a single motive (a rising sixth and falling second first heard in the opening bars), which unifies all three movements.
