Browse: Beethoven - Violin Sonata No. 7 in C minor, Op. 30 No. 2

Composer: Ludwig van Beethoven (1770–1827)Composed: 1802Genres: Chamber » Sonatas » Violin Sonatas Dedicated to: Tsar Alexander I of Russia

The Violin Sonata No. 7 in C minor by Ludwig van Beethoven, the second of his Op. 30 set, was composed between 1801 and 1802, published in May 1803, and dedicated to Tsar Alexander I of Russia. It has four movements:

Allegro con brio (in C minor)Adagio cantabile (in A-flat major)Scherzo: Allegro (in C major)Finale: Allegro; Presto (in C minor)

The work's opening movement is the first of Beethoven's sonata first movements that does not repeat the exposition. The development section contains a theme not found in the exposition (this happens in earlier compositions such as the fourth violin sonata also). The work takes approximately 26 minutes to perform.
