Ludwig van Beethoven był niemieckim kompozytorem i pianistą, ostatnim z klasyków wiedeńskich, a zarazem prekursorem romantyzmu w muzyce. Jest uznawany za jednego z największych twórców muzycznych wszech czasów.
Album Sonatas for Piano & Violin ukazał się w 2022 roku nakładem wytwórni Warner Classics jako trzypłytowe kompletne wydanie sonat skrzypcowych Beethovena – łącznie 47 nagrań. Amerykańska skrzypaczka japońskiego pochodzenia Midori i francuski pianista Jean-Yves Thibaudet intensywnie współpracują już od co najmniej 2019 roku, kiedy to odbyli wspólne europejskie i amerykańskie tournée. Zaraz potem, w ramach obchodów 250. rocznicy urodzin Ludwiga van Beethovena, kontynuowali współpracę w trakcie rozległej trasy koncertowej po USA, podczas której stopniowo prezentowali kompletne sonaty skrzypcowe kompozytora. Ich wspólna interpretacja została bardzo przychylnie przyjęta przez amerykańską krytykę i słuchaczy. Na albumie znajdą Państwo między innymi słynną sonatę Spring (Op. 24) oraz Sonatę nr 1 D-dur (Op. 12).
