The Violin Sonata No. 4 of Ludwig van Beethoven in A minor, his Opus 23, was composed in 1801, published in October that year, and dedicated to Count Moritz von Fries. It followed by one year the composition of his first symphony, and was originally meant to be published alongside Violin Sonata No. 5, however it was published on different sized paper, so the opus numbers had to be split. Unlike the three first sonatas, Sonata No. 4 received a favourable reception from critics. It has three movements: #''Presto'' #''Andante scherzoso, più allegretto'' (in A major) #''Allegro molto'' The work takes approximately 19 minutes to perform. ==Presto== The first movement, Presto, is in sonata form, and uses small fragments as opposed to two longer themes. The exposition modulates to E minor, before returning to A minor prior to heading into the development. In the development, the themes are passed through all three parts - Violin and both hands of the piano. In Bar 136, a new theme is introduced, similar to previous themes but different. This is a technique that Beethoven later used in the first movement on Symphony No. 5. This theme leads directly into the recapitulation, but returns in the coda. The recapitulation is highly condensed, with the first bars of the second subject entering in C major before abruptly sinking back to the minor. The exposition, as well as the development and recapitulation, are repeated. 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. 4 (Beethoven)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
