At a Glance
R. SCHUMANN Violin Sonata No. 1 in A Minor, Op. 105
Schumann seems to have rediscovered the violin in the last half-dozen years of his life. The first of three violin sonatas written in the early 1850s, his A-Minor Sonata is a winning combination of passionate intensity and gentle lyricism.
BRAHMS Violin Sonata No. 2 in A Major, Op. 100
Composed between 1879 and 1888, Brahms’s three sonatas for violin and piano are works of mature and unostentatious mastery. The warmth and intimacy of the A-Major Sonata reflect the composer’s close friendship and artistic collaboration with violinist Joseph Joachim.
C. SCHUMANN Three Romances, Op. 22
Clara Schumann composed her Three Romances for Joachim, with whom she often performed. In their fanciful spontaneity of expression, they bear a marked family resemblance to her husband Robert’s beloved character pieces.
BRAHMS Violin Sonata No. 3 in D Minor, Op. 108
Brahms was in his mid-50s when he wrote the last of his three violin sonatas. Dark and impassioned, the music may allude to the platonic love affair Brahms had long carried on with pianist-composer Clara Schumann after her husband, Robert, passed away.
