The Romance No. 2 for violin and orchestra in F major, Op. 50, is the second of two such compositions by Ludwig van Beethoven. It was written in 1798 but not published until 1805 (by which time Beethoven had completed and published the other work, Romance No. 1 in G major, Op. 40). The score calls for solo violin, one flute, two oboes, two bassoons, two horns and strings. The length is about eight minutes, and Beethoven gives the tempo "Adagio Cantabile."
