Violin Sonata No. 5 (Beethoven)

The Violin Sonata No. 5, opus 24, is a violin sonata by Ludwig van Beethoven. It is often known as the Spring sonata, and was published in 1801. Its dedicatee was Count Moritz von Fries, a patron* to whom was also dedicated the 4th violin sonata, Beethoven’s string quintet of the same year, and the seventh symphony. The work is in four movements: The Scherzo and its trio are particularly brief (and as pointed out here the scherzo is canonic). * Fries was also a travelling companion to G B Casti, a playwright and rival of da Ponte, and an influence on Mozart at a pivotal point in his operatic work, according to Alfred Einstein’s Mozart: His Character, His Work.
