Sonatas for Piano and Violin: no. 5 “Spring” & no. 9 “Kreutzer”

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Pinchas Zukerman & Marc Neikrug

Sonatas for piano and violin, Nos. 5 and 9, are compositions by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed in 1800 and 1803 respectively. They exemplify Beethoven's transition from his early to middle period, marrying Classical sonata forms with greater dramatic contrast, expanded structural scope and heightened technical demands for both violin and piano, marking a key step in his development of chamber music.
First released: 1992
