Dedicated to his friend, the violinist Rudolph Kreutzer, these sonatas exhibit a greater inventiveness in the writing for the violin than is found in his earlier sonatas of opus 1 and opus 3, which appeared in 1760 and 1764, respectively. The opus posthumous sonatas demand a virtuosic technique comparable to that needed in Gaviniés¿s famous work, Les Vingt-quatre matinées, also composed in 1800. The bass line of the opus posthumous collection, unlike that in his earlier works, is unfigured and is not labeled as a basso continuo. In a Berlin edition of 1828, the bass line is published separately from the violin part, as a violoncello accompaniment ad libitum. The editor concludes that these sonatas could be performed in one of three ways: first, as a solo with basso continuo, the harmony supplied by a knowledgeable keyboard player supported by a cellist playing the bass line; second, as just an unaccompanied violin solo; or third, as a duo played by a violinist and cellist. Any choice of these options should produce a satisfactory and convincing interpretation of these sonatas.
