5/1, 5/2, composed in the late 1780s or early 1790s and published posthumously; exploring the four sonatas of the first-period (the Three Sonatas, Op.

10 and the Sonata, Op.

22); two sonatas from the middle period (Opp.

78, in two relatively brief movements; and Op.

79, the shortest of the three-movement sonatas); and ending with the late-period’s Eleven Bagatelles, Op.

119, revised and published as a set in 1823 but gathering works that span from the 1790s to the early 1820s.
