Beethoven's Violin Sonata No. 4 and Violin Sonata No. 5 were highly praised, unlike the three previous ones. A music critic from 1801 described them as "the best ever written by Beethoven, that is to say they are among the best ever written." Beethoven then continued to write 10 sonatas for several years, showing his state of mind as in a diary.
