About this item
In May of 1802, the “Allgemeine musikalische Zeitung” praised the violin
sonatas op. 23 and 24 as being “... among the best Beethoven has
written, which is to say that they are among the best being written at
all. The composer’s original, fiery and bold spirit … becomes more and
more apparent now ...”
The time during which Beethoven composed
his “Spring Sonata” was marked by a frantic surge of compositional
creativity. “I live only in my notes, and with one work barely finished,
the other is already started; the way I write now I often find myself
working on three, four things at the same time.”, he wrote in a letter
to Wegeler on 29 June 1801. However during this time, Beethoven also
suffered from the rapid deterioration of his hearing, a fact he was
still trying to hide and that the enchanting “Spring Sonata” which was
to become increasingly popular in the course of the 19th century
certainly does not divulge.

Composer
Ludwig Van Beethoven (1770-1827)

Ludwig van Beethoven (baptized 17 December 1770 – 26 March 1827) was a German composer and pianist. The crucial figure in the transition between the Classical and Romantic eras in Western art music, he remains one of the most famous and influential composers of all time.
Born in Bonn, then the capital of the Electorate of Cologne and part of the Holy Roman Empire, Beethoven moved to Vienna in his early 20s, studying with Joseph Haydn and quickly gaining a reputation as a virtuoso pianist. His hearing began to deteriorate in the late 1790s, yet he continued to compose, conduct, and perform, even after becoming completely deaf.
