Link to 3rd movement doesn't work. —Preceding unsigned comment added by FWadel (talk • contribs) 09:33, 20 November, 2006 (UTC)

One of Beethoven's very greatest works, no doubt! Second movement one of my favorite Beethoven movements ever! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.40.20.130 (talk) 18:03, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

By far my favourite Beethoven Violin Sonata. The first movement is so emotionally charged it makes you want to cry - especially when you recount that as Beethoven wrote it he was most likely considering ending his own life due to his depression over hearing loss amongst other things The first movement recording here doesn't play the repeat so hence it only goes for about 10 mins Incidentally I believe the 3rd movement was actually originally the final movement to his 6th sonata but he switched them around because he was running out of time to finish sonata No. 9. He then proceeded to re-write the final movement of the 6th when he had more time. I'd put this in the article but I can't confirm it :-) 130.194.13.105 06:00, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

I fail to see why the fact that Bridgetower was "negroid" is relevant. Skiasaurus (talk) 06:40, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

Without objection, I suggest that the information about Bridgetower's race be removed.

• Anyone who needs this information can go to Bridgetower's own article, as it is included in the article's lead--in fact, in its first sentence.
• It is not immediately relevant to Beethoven's dedication or rededication of the sonata--or, if it is, no attempt has been made to explain it or to support it with sources.
