Violin Sonatas nos. 1-3
Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & James Ehnes & Andrew Armstrong
Violin Sonatas Nos. 1–3 is a set of three violin sonatas by Ludwig van Beethoven, published as his Opus 12 in 1798. These early chamber works draw on Classical sonata forms and idioms while introducing increased rhythmic drive, dynamic contrast and expanded expressive range, and they mark a formative stage in Beethoven's development from his Classical models towards a more individual style.
