Beethoven Spring Sonata







Violin Sonata No. 5 (Beethoven)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Violin Sonata No. 5 in F major, Opus 24, is a violin sonata by Ludwig van Beethoven. It is often known as the "Spring" sonata, and was published in 1801. Its dedicatee was Count Moritz von Fries, a patron[1] to whom the fourth violin sonata, the string quintet of the same year, and the seventh symphony were also dedicated.

The work is in four movements:

Allegro

Adagio molto espressivo

Scherzo: Allegro molto

Rondo: Allegro ma non troppo

The Scherzo and its trio are particularly brief (and as pointed out here the scherzo is canonic).

Its Adagio movement is featured in the hit stage show of "Fame".

The work takes approximately 23 minutes to perform.
