The Violin Sonata No. 5 in F major, Opus 24, is a violin sonata by Ludwig van Beethoven. It is often known as the "Spring" sonata, and was published in 1801. Its dedicatee was Count Moritz von Fries, a patron to whom the fourth violin sonata, the string quintet of the same year, and the seventh symphony were also dedicated.
The work is in four movements:
Allegro
Adagio molto espressivo
Scherzo: Allegro molto
Rondo: Allegro ma non troppo
The Scherzo and its trio are particularly brief (and as pointed out here the scherzo is canonic).

To you music people out there, this probably makes sense. But not everybody is a music people, I will explain.
Basically what the previous quote means is that Beethoven's 5th violin sonata is a sonata (duh) with four totally awesome movements. It really is sweet sounding.
To show you how awesome it actually is, I have imbedded videos of all four movements.
By the way, I have a recital coming up in about a week and I'm planning on learning this after it.
