Violin Sonata No. 7 (Beethoven)
- Violin Sonata No. 7 (Beethoven)
The Violin Sonata No. 7 in C minor by Ludwig van Beethoven, the second of his opus 30 set, was composed between 1801 and 1802, published in May 1803, and dedicated to Czar Alexander I of Russia. It has four movements:
#"Allegro con brio"
#"Adagio cantabile"
#"Scherzo: Allegro"
#"Finale: Allegro; Presto"
The first movement is a sonata form without repeat, and its development section contains a theme not found in the exposition (this happens in earlier compositions such as the fourth violin sonata also) [cite journal|last=Churgin|first=Bathia|pages=327–9|journal=The Journal of Musicology|title=Beethoven and the New Development-Theme in Sonata-Form Movements|volume=16|issue=3|date=Summer, 1998

The second movement was originally sketched out in G major before taking its current form [cite web|last=Sundram|first=Jason|title=Notes on Violin Sonata no. 7, opus 30 no. 2, 1802|url=http://jsundram.freeshell.org/ProgramNotes/Beethoven_Sonata.html|accessdate=2007-07-23] .
The autograph to the sonata turned up in a collection built up by H. C. Bodmer in Zurich, discovered in the mid-20th century [cite journal
