Frédéric Chopin composed his Piano Sonata No. 3 in B minor, Op. 58, in 1844 and dedicated it to Countess Emilie de Perthuis. As his last sonata for solo piano, the more normalized structure and composition of the sonata suggests that this was possibly his attempt to address the criticisms of his earlier Sonata No. 2, Op. 35.
