Link to the Show / Show NotesRudolphe Kreutzer was known as the finest violinist of his day, but he wasn't too keen on the Sonata Beethoven dedicated to him - the Sonata in A major, Op.47. Now it's one of Beethoven's most popular works! We hear it played before a live audience in WGBH's studio One, by violinist Ilya Kaler and pianist Janice Weber.
Beethoven: Sonata in A major, Op.47.
I. Adagio sostenuto– presto;
II. Andante con Variazioni;
III. Finale: Presto.
