Beethoven: Cello Sonata No.1 in F major

Beethoven wrote his two Op.5 cello sonatas in 1796. As was common at the time, they are essentially piano sonatas with cello accompaniment, although this is not to diminish them as substantial works within the cello repertoire. This first sonata is in two movements, although both are in two distinct parts which give it the feel of a four movement work.
