The Violin Sonata No. 10 of Ludwig van Beethoven in G major, his Opus 96, was written in 1812, published in 1816, and dedicated to Beethoven's pupil Archduke Rudolph Johannes Joseph Rainier of Austria, who gave its first performance, together with the violinist Pierre Rode. ==Structure and Analysis== It has four movements: #''Allegro moderato'' (in G major) #''Adagio espressivo'' (in E-flat major) #''Scherzo: Allegro - Trio'' (in G minor, ''Trio'' in E-flat major, ends in G major) #''Poco allegretto'' (in G major) The final movement was written with Pierre Rode's style in mind. Shortly before completing the work, Beethoven wrote to the Archduke Rudolph “… I did not make great haste in the last movement for the sake of mere punctuality, the more because, in writing it, I had to consider the playing of Rode. In our finales we like rushing and resounding passages, but this does not please R and — this hinders me somewhat.”〔(Letter No 96 )〕 As a result, the finale was a set of seven variations and a short coda on a cheerful theme. The work takes approximately 27 minutes to perform. It is described as the loveliest of his violin sonatas, with "calm, ethereal beauty" and "a searching test for the players. Everything must be right, from the very first trill".〔''The Master Musicians: Beethoven'' by Marion Scott (1934) revised by Sir Jack Westrup JM Dent 1974〕 The opening trill is an integral part of the subject. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Violin Sonata No. 10 (Beethoven)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
