Thanks to public radio, I heard Beethoven's Violin "Spring" Sonata No. 5 for the first time today. I enjoyed it immensely.

As I was listening to the piece, I thought to myself, "This must be by someone famous!"

Sure enough, when the announcer stated the name of the composer at the end, he *was* somewhat famous.

I was surprised that the sonata was by Beethoven, because its allegro and scherzo sections seemed much more playful than I had expected from him.

I especially like how the violin and piano have lighthearted conversations in movements I. allegro and III. scherzo:

Beethoven - Violin Sonata No. 5 "Spring"
