"Beethoven's ten violin sonates have long been cornerstones of the chamber music repertoire. The "Spring" and "Kreutzer" sonatas are the best known of these works, which stand at the pinnacle of music for violin and piano." "Lewis Lockwood and Mark Kroll's volume The Beethoven Violin Sonatas is the first scholarly book in English devoted exclusively to the Beethoven sonatas and deals with them in unprecedented depth. Serving readers, listeners, and performers as a companion to the sonatas, it presents seven critical and historical essays by some of the most important American and European Beethoven specialists of our time. The authors examine the sonatas within the history of the genre, the social and cultural context in which they were written, their significance within Beethoven's life and works, and the issues they raise regarding performance practices of the period."--BOOK JACKET.

Book Details
First Sentence
"Like many compositions from Beethoven's first decade in Vienna, the Opus 12 violin sonatas (in D major, A major, and Eb major) stand in the shadow of the works from his middle and late periods (figure 1.1 shows the title page to this opus)."
