Allegro Giorgio Casati, Luca Ieracitano Ludwig van Beethoven (1770–1827) was a German composer and pianist. He is one of the most revered figures in the history of Western music; his works rank among the most performed of the classical music repertoire and span the transition from the Classical period to the Romantic era in classical music. The Cello Sonatas No. 1 and No. 2, Op. 5 were written in 1796, while Beethoven was in Berlin. There, he met the King of Prussia Friedrich Wilhelm II, an ardent music-lover and keen cellist. Although the sonatas are dedicated to Friedrich Wilhelm II, Ferdinand Ries tells us that Beethoven “played several times at the court, where he also played the two cello sonatas, opus 5, composed for Duport (the King’s first cellist) and himself“. In the early 19th century, sonatas for piano and instrument were usually advertised as piano sonatas with instrumental accompaniment. Beethoven is credited with composing one of the first cello sonatas with a written-out piano part. The Op. 5 sonatas are the first two examples of fully developed cello sonatas in the modern tradition. There is no precedent for these sonatas: it is the first time in music history the cello is not used simply as a continuo instrument in a sonata. The Cello Sonata No. 3 in A major, Op. 69 was composed in 1807–08, during Beethoven’s productive middle period. It was first performed in 1809 by cellist Nikolaus Kraft and pianist Dorothea von Ertmann, a student of Beethoven. Published by Breitkopf & Härtel the same year, it was dedicated to Freiherr Ignaz von Gleichenstein, Beethoven’s friend and an amateur cellist. The sonata was successful with audiences from the beginning. Finally, the Sonatas for cello and piano No. 4 in C major, Op. 102, No. 1, and No. 5 in D major, Op. 102, No. 2, were composed simultaneously in 1815 and published, by Simrock, in 1817 with a dedication to the Countess Marie von Erdődy, a close friend and confidante of Beethoven.
