Overview
Beethoven’s variations on Handel’s oratorio, Judas Maccabeus, probably date from 1796. While arguably they cast the piano in the leading role, the cello is very much its equal from the off in the Second Cello Sonata of the same year. From a slow, expressive introduction, this rolls into a virtuosic Allegro molto più tosto presto, before a cheerful final Rondo. The variations on The Magic Flute’s ‘Bei Männern, welche Liebe fühlen’ date from only a few years later, in 1801, as does the Horn Sonata in F written for the Italian horn virtuoso, Giovanni Punto. The latter follows an Allegro with the briefest Poco Adagio, before an elegant Rondo finale. Meanwhile it’s the deeply expressive central slow movement that’s the longest in the Fifth Cello Sonata of 1815, sitting between a bold Allegro con brio and a fugal finale.
