This rollicking theme, what is probably better described as a mood, of Schubert's sonata in A minor, composed for friend and arpeggione virtuoso Vincenz Schuster, appears more than once in Beethoven's first sonata for violin, however briefly. The piece is itself more frequently performed on violin, as it is in the clip provided below. Listen carefully to the piano in the D major sonata, comparing it with that of the accompanist in the Schubert.

This blog is intended as a space within which I will share my findings related to classical music appropriation. Many composers in the past have quoted, borrowed, and recycled the themes and melodies of others. Having already noted many such instances, I hope to include the more interesting, and convincing, examples herein.
