Background: Beethoven’s three sonatas for Piano and Violin op.30 were dedicated to Tsar Alexander 1st. He had been educated by his grandmother Catherine the Great and was considered to be a true child of the Enlightenment. The three manuscripts of the op.30 sonatas are among the most expressive of the surviving original material of Beethoven’s chamber music. These works were a direct result of the collaboration with Beethoven’s violin teacher, Ignaz Schuppanzigh - who was in fact the dedicatee of the op.12 sonatas. The final piece on the CD was written by another significant influence on Beethoven’s work - Franz Clement. This is the third disc in a series that sets Beethoven’s sonatas in their social and musical context - in this case the context being Schuppanzigh.
