George Bridgetower, historical portrait by Henry Edridge, 1790 — Henry Edridge, 1790 · Photograph: Stephencdickson · CC BY-SA 4.0

George Augustus Polgreen Bridgetower performed Beethoven’s violin sonata, Op. 47, with the composer in Vienna in May 1803. Although the work later became known as the Kreutzer Sonata, Bridgetower was central to its first performance. His musicianship and collaboration helped bring this work into public hearing.
