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. The second cello sonata is a tempestuous work in two movements, which lasts about 25 minutes in performance.
