Perlman & Kissin I. Adagio sostenuto - Presto: "Kreutzer" Sonata No.9 in A Major Op.47 Beethoven

Itzhak Perlman (violin) & Evgeny Kissin (piano) perform Sonata No. 9 in A Major for violin and piano, Opus 47 "Kreutzer"(1803) by Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827).
I. Adagio sostenuto - Presto, A major
The sonata opens with a slow 18-bar introduction, of which only the first four bars of the solo violin are in the A-Major-key. The piano enters, and the harmony begins to turn darker towards the minor key, until the main body of the movement - an angry A-minor Presto- begins. Here, the piano part matches the violin's in terms of difficulty. Near the end, Beethoven brings back part of the opening Adagio, before closing the movement in an anguished coda.
