Violin Sonatas nos. 2, 4 & 9 “Kreutzer”

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Antje Weithaas & Dénes Várjon

Violin Sonatas nos. 2, 4 & 9 "Kreutzer" are three violin sonatas by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed between 1798 and 1803. They bridge the composer's early and middle periods, combining classical sonata forms with increasing structural ambition, heightened virtuosic demands for both violin and piano and expanded expressive contrasts that influenced the violin-and-piano repertoire.
