Violin, Leonard Busfield
Pianoforte, Vera McComb Thomas

Of Beethoven's ten Sonatas for Violin and Pianoforte scarcely any sustains so noble a discourse as this. the seventh (known as Op. 30, No. 2).
In its First Movement there are some stormy episodes and some charming melodies, but dignity is never lost in passion.
The Second Movement, the slow one, is in a mood of elevated seriousness, to which the violin adds a note almost of melancholy. The long Coda which concludes the Movement has a new spirit of winsome charm.
The Third Movement provides the light relief that is now due. It is a perfect foil to the grave music that has come immediately before it.
The Last Movement is one in which the inner drama of such non-pictorial music may be shaped by each hearer according to his liking. Broadly-moving tunes, active passage-work, and, in the middle of the Movement, a section in fugal style, all help to make up a Movement whose busy life is full of incident and effective effort.
