Believed to have been composed in the mid-1810s. The generation of pianist-composers following Beethoven—namely Cramer, Hummel, Field, Kuhlau, Kalkbrenner, Czerny, and Moscheles—were active in parallel with the development of the piano's functional capabilities; however, French music from this generation remains largely unknown. Zimmerman is emblematic of this, and his refined, unique pianism and flexible sense of form can be recognized. This is the only sonata currently confirmed. Dedicated to Charles Simon Catel (1773-1830).
