Beethoven: Romance for violin and orchestra No. 2 in F major, Op. 50 (with Score)

Ludwig van Beethoven: Romance for violin and orchestra No. 2 in F major, Op. 50 (with Score) Solo Violin: Itzhak Perlman Conductor: Daniel Barenboim Orchestra: Berliner Philharmoniker None of which provides clues about when and why he wrote Romance No. 1 and Romance No. 2 for solo violin and small orchestra. There is speculation that one of them might have originally been a slow movement to go with the substantial but fragmentary first movement of a violin concerto in C major that Beethoven began — and abandoned — in the early 1790s, while still in Bonn. Both Romances, however, seem to have been written after his move to the Austrian capital. The second numbered one was composed first, but not published until 1805, hence its higher numbers. #Beethoven #Beethoven250
