The Piano Sonata No. 4 in E flat major, Op.7 by Ludwig van Beethoven, sometimes called "The Grand Sonata", is dedicated to his student Babette, the Countess Keglevics. The sonata was composed in November 1796 in Bratislava, during his visit to the Keglevich Palace. Beethoven named it the "Great Sonata" as it was published alone, something unusual for the time.

The sonata is laid out in four movements:

I. Allegro molto e con brio
II. Largo, con gran espressione
III. Allegro
IV. Rondo: Poco allegretto e grazioso
