1. J. S. BACH — Sonata for Violin and Harpsichord in C minor, BWV 1017 (in four movements):

• I. Siciliano. Largo

• II. Allegro

• III. Adagio

• IV. Allegro

  One of the most profound examples of Baroque chamber music, where the violin and keyboard act as equal partners.

2. W. A. MOZART — Sonata in E-flat major, K. 380 (in three movements):

• I. Allegro

• II. Andante con moto

• III. Rondo. Allegro

  A sonata from the composer's mature period, filled with bright lyricism, humor, elegance, and clarity.

3. L. van BEETHOVEN — Sonata No. 8 in G major, Op. 30 No. 3 (in three movements):

• I. Allegro assai

• II. Tempo di Minuetto, ma molto moderato e grazioso

• III. Allegro vivace

  A vibrant, ironic, and cheerful sonata. Its incredible brightness is quite rare for Beethoven. It was written during the composer's early period.
