Ludwig van Beethoven ： Violin Sonata No.7 in C-Moll Op.30-2

This work is marked by the tension and strong momentum of C minor, with the violin and piano advancing the music as equal partners. The first movement is in sonata form, shaped by sharp contrasts and dramatic development, while the second unfolds with a singing melody and a calm expression. The third-movement Scherzo stands out for its lively rhythm, and the finale brings the work to a close while maintaining its momentum and tension. The piano is more than an accompaniment: performers should clarify the exchanged motifs and subtle dynamic changes while remaining attentive to the dialogue with the violin. Even in the faster passages, avoiding haste and making use of the space created by rests and accents helps convey the strength of the overall structure.
