Amon
g Vienna’s many
composers and pianists of
the time, Anton Eberl
(1765–1807) was
the one considered most
worthy of comparison with
Beethoven. His Sonata in
B flat major, Op.35, his
last of seven sonatas
with violin, was composed
around 1805 and dedicated
to Maria Walburga, the
Princess Bretzenheim.
This was one
Eberl’s last
works, as he died
prematurely, at the age
of forty-one, in 1807.
Unlike many of
Eberl’s lesser
contemporaries, in its
duration, formal and
harmonic novelty, and in
the lively relationship
between the violin and
keyboard, his Op.35
shares much of the
musical ambition and
quality of
Beethoven’s works
in this genre.
