The Violin Sonatas

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Arthur Grumiaux & Clara Haskil

The Violin Sonatas are a set of violin sonatas by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed and published between 1797 and 1812. Spanning his early to middle periods, they chart the evolving relationship between violin and piano within Classical forms, introducing greater technical demands, expanded expressive range and structural innovation that influenced subsequent chamber repertoire.
