Beethoven: Cello Sonata No.3

Beethoven wrote this, his most frequently played cello sonata, in 1808. It is one of the first cello sonatas to give the cello equal presidence to the piano, the first movement even begins with a theme on cello solo. The second movement is an aggressive scherzo, while the third movement Adagio leads straight into a tuneful finale.
