The Sonata #5 for Piano and violin by Beethoven carries the nickname “Spring” which was not given by the composer, but it does capture the generally cheerful sense of zesty blossoming in the work.
The opening movement is a big, bold sonata form, its gentle first theme contrasting starkly with the dramatic stress of the second.
The lyrical Adagio marries variation techniques to song form, and the short, soft Scherzo and Trio are a Haydnesque comic interlude.
The Rondo finale sums it all up, matching the harmonic adventures of the first movement, the tuneful grace of the Adagio, and the wit of the scherzo.
