Ludwig van Beethoven német zeneszerző és zongorista volt, akinek életműve a zenei klasszicizmusból a romantikába való átmenetet öleli fel. A zenetörténet egyik legjelentősebb alkotójaként tartják számon.
A Sonatas for Piano & Violin című album 2022-ben jelent meg a Warner Classics kiadónál, mint Beethoven hegedűszonátáinak teljes, háromlemezes kiadása – összesen 47 felvétellel. A japán származású amerikai hegedűművésznő, Midori és a francia zongorista, Jean-Yves Thibaudet legalább 2019 óta intenzíven együttműködnek, amikor közös európai és amerikai turnén vettek részt. Közvetlenül ezt követően, Ludwig van Beethoven születésének 250. évfordulója alkalmából, kiterjedt amerikai turnén folytatták, amelyen fokozatosan mutatták be a zeneszerző teljes hegedűszonátáit. Közös interpretációjukat mind az amerikai kritika, mind a közönség rendkívül kedvezően fogadta. Az albumon hallható többek között a híres Spring szonáta (Op. 24), valamint az 1. D-dúr szonáta (Op. 12).
