The name comes from a reference to a personal conversation with Beethoven by his associate in which Schindler reports that Beethoven suggested, in passing response to his question about interpreting it and Op. 57, the 'Appassionata' sonata, that he should read Shakespeare's Tempest.
Although much of Schindler's information is distrusted by classical music scholars, this is a first-hand account like any other that any scholar reports. The British music scholar says in A Companion to Beethoven's Pianoforte Sonatas: With all the tragic power of its first movement the D minor Sonata is, like Prospero, almost as far beyond tragedy as it is beyond mere foul weather. It will do you no harm to think of Miranda at bars 31–38 of the slow movement.
But people who want to identify Ariel and Caliban and the castaways, good and villainous, may as well confine their attention to the exploits of Scarlet Pimpernel when the Eroica or the C minor Symphony is being played (pg. The first movement alternates brief moments of seeming peacefulness with extensive passages of turmoil, after some time expanding into a haunting 'storm' in which the peacefulness is lost.

The development begins with rolled, long chords, quickly ending to the theme of the exposition.
There is a long recitative section at the beginning of this movement's recapitulation, again ending with fast and suspenseful passages. At the recapitulation, the theme of the development is again repeated in a different key. Second movement. The third movement is a sonata-rondo in the key of D minor. It is at first flowing with emotion and then reaching a climax, before moving into an extended development section which mainly focuses on the opening figure of the movement, reaching a climax at bars 169–173. The recapitulation, which is preceded by an extensive cadenza-like passage of semiquavers for the right hand, is followed by another transition and then another statement of the primary theme. The refrain undergoes phrase expansion to build tension for the climax of the movement at bar 381, a fortissimo falling chromatic scale.
