Violinsonaten Nos. 1–3

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Gidon Kremer & Martha Argerich

Violin Sonatas Nos. 1–3 are a set of three violin sonatas by Ludwig van Beethoven, published in 1799. Rooted in the Classical style, they pair lyrical violin writing with substantial piano parts and explore expanded sonata structures and dramatic contrasts that foreshadow Beethoven's middle-period compositional developments.
First released: 1985
