Beethoven's ninth violin sonata, the "Kreutzer" is one of the composer's most celebrated works. Lasting nearly 40 minutes in full performance, it was published in 1805 and was unprecedented in terms of its drama and technical difficulty. The first movement has a slow and mysterious opening, before both instruments are launched on a ferocious Presto. The second movement is a great contrast to the first, a long and mostly relaxed set of variations in F major. While the final movement was originally written for the sixth violin sonata, Beethoven later decided its intensity and technical difficulty better suited this work.
