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<ref>Fries was also a travelling companion to Giovanni Battista Casti, a playwright and rival of Lorenzo da Ponte, and an influence on Mozart at a pivotal point in his operatic work, according to Alfred Einstein's Mozart: His Character, His Work.</ref> to whom the 4^th violin sonata, the string quintet of the same year, and the seventh symphony were also dedicated.

The work is in four movements:

1. Allegro
2. Adagio molto espressivo
3. Scherzo: Allegro molto
4. Rondo: Allegro ma non troppo

The Scherzo and its trio are particularly brief (and as pointed out here the scherzo is canonic).
