Ludwig van Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 2 in A major, Op. 2, No. 2, was written in 1795 and dedicated to Joseph Haydn. It was published simultaneously with his first and third sonatas in 1796.

Donald Francis Tovey wrote, "The second sonata is flawless in execution and entirely beyond the range of Haydn and Mozart in harmonic and dramatic thought, except in the Finale."

The sonata was the first Beethoven sonata to reach America and was performed in New York on June 5, 1807.

The sonata is laid out in four movements:
I. Allegro vivace, 2/4, A Major - [00:00]
II. Largo appassionato, 3/4, D Major - [10:10]
III. Scherzo: Allegretto, 3/4, A Major - A minor - A Major - [17:10]
IV. Rondo: Grazioso, common time, A Major - [20:08]
