The leap that Beethoven makes from his first violin sonata compared to his last is huge. “On a personal level, I've always felt that Beethoven is the composer to whom I feel closest; the first sonata I ever played was a Beethoven sonata, and so I immediately became enthusiastic about this project. I decided to ask Michael Schöch if he would be interested, and that's how all of this came about.” — Annedore Oberborbeck
