Next to the Kreutzer sonata, this is Beethoven's most dramatic and passionate violin sonata, perhaps reflecting the composer's rage at his impending deafness. The first movement starts with a defiant arpeggiated theme, and despite attempting to settle in C major is dragged back to C minor in the dramatic coda. The second and third movements provide some respite from the drama, an Adagio providing textural variations on a theme and a quicksilver Scherzo. The finale attempts to reassert this optimism but ultimately lapses back into the turbulent drama which underpins this work.
