The Violin Sonata No. 7 in C minor by Ludwig van Beethoven, the second of his opus 30 set, was composed between 1801 and 1802, published in May 1803, and dedicated to Czar Alexander I of Russia. It has four movements:

1. Allegro con brio
2. Adagio cantabile

The second movement was originally sketched out in G major before taking its current form ([1]).
