Violin Sonata in E-flat major (Ries)

Ferdinand Ries composed his Violin Sonata in E-flat major, WoO. 7 in 1804, when he was 22 years old. Surviving in manuscript form in the Berlin State Library, there is no evidence the work was performed during the composer's lifetime and was amongst a number of compositions that remained unpublished at the composers death.

Structure
The sonata is structured in five movements, one of which is crossed out in the manuscript:


 * 1) Allegro con brio
 * 2) Andantino
 * 3) Allegro molto
 * 4) Adagio molto expressivo
 * 5) Allegro molto vivace
