Most beautiful/playable Beethoven Violin Sonata?
on: February 20, 2013, 02:00:52 AM
I have started playing some sonata movements with a friend.  So far we have done the Copland Sonata (not sure if there is more than one) and the first movement of the Brahms G Major.  She suggested I choose a Beethoven sonata for us to work on next.  I don't know them.  Suggestions?  I'm not keen on the really early stuff, but I know some of them are very difficult.  Please recommend something really satisfying but playable -- thanks!

Don't know how playable that one is, but they're all beautiful
