BEETHOVEN'S SONATAS FOR VIOLIN
AND PIANOFORTE
Played by ERNEST WHITFIELD and KENDAL TAYLOR
No. 9 (' Kreutzer ')—Last Movement
THE Last Movement is quick and jig-like. In tho First Main Tune the Piano supplies a part in similar rhythm to the Violin's vivacious melody. Immediately afterwards the positions are reversed. The Second Main Tune is in two parts-a flippant tune and a poetical one. The flippant one (in the Violin) is nearly related not only to the First Main Tune, but also to the prevailing tune of the First Movement. ' The contrasting poetical tune, lovingly treated, forms an effective contrast in an otherwise entirely brilliant movement.
