🇩🇪Ludwig van Beethoven ： Violin Sonata No.3 in Es-Dur Op.12-3

This three-movement sonata features the violin and piano as equal partners in shaping the music. The first movement is marked by clear themes and lively exchanges, with the interplay and passing of ideas between the two instruments providing a central point of interest. In the second movement, the phrasing calls for careful attention to the breath of the melody and the changing harmony. The finale, a rondo, combines lightness with forward momentum, vividly contrasting its episodes while preserving the character of the recurring theme. The piano is far more than an accompaniment: performers should be attentive to balance, articulation, and the direction of each phrase in dialogue with the violin.
