Violin Sonatas nos. 4, 5 & 8

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & James Ehnes & Andrew Armstrong

Violin Sonatas nos. 4, 5 & 8 is a set of violin sonatas by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed between 1798 and 1803. The works show Beethoven's movement from Classical clarity towards greater expressive breadth and technical demands in his chamber music, featuring expanded formal structures, contrasting lyrical and virtuosic writing for violin and piano, and a stylistic influence on later Romantic sonata writing.
