Description:
Volume 1 of Beethoven's sonatas for violin and piano comprises the three sonatas op. 12 composed around 1797 98 as well as the pair of sonatas op. 23 and 24 composed in 1800, the latter of which later became known as the "Spring Sonata". From the outset, Beethoven's violin sonatas are duos for two equal partners. Musically, they are of a different character and are in no way inferior to the piano sonatas in terms of invention and boldness, both formally and harmonically. The new edition is based on all surviving original sources, as well as on Simrock's carefully edited reprints. In the edition, plausible divergences between the two instruments (for example in the bowing) have been retained; unfounded adaptations have been deliberately avoided. The notes on interpretation trace the essential aspects of performance practice from Beethoven's time, both from the violinist's and the pianist's point of view.
