Violin Sonatas: No. 4, op. 23 / No. 10, op. 96

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Takako Nishizaki & Jenő Jandó

Violin Sonatas No. 4, Op. 23 and No. 10, Op. 96 are violin and piano sonatas by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed in 1801 and 1812 respectively. They illustrate Beethoven's development from his early to middle period, with the Op. 23 sonata showing more compact, dramatic gestures within classical forms and the Op. 96 presenting a broader, more lyrical and harmonically adventurous approach that helped expand the expressive range of chamber music.
