Violin Sonatas nos. 9 "Kreutzer" / 5 "Spring"

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & David Fiodorovich Oistrakh & Lev Oborin

Violin Sonatas Nos. 9 ('Kreutzer') and 5 ('Spring') are violin sonatas by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed in 1803 and 1801 respectively. Both works occupy Beethoven's early-middle period and exemplify his expansion of Classical sonata form through greater structural breadth and increased virtuosity for both violin and piano, with the Kreutzer characterised by dramatic contrasts and technical demands and the Spring by lyrical melodies and formal clarity that bridge Classical balance and emerging Romantic expression.
