About
This sonata was written for an accomplished amateur violinist and pianist.
1st Movement: Begins with a smooth flowing melody over a restless accompaniment. A contrasting second theme is rather more active for the violinist. A third lyrical tune with its development is followed by a development of the second theme. The movement closes with the opening theme.
2nd Movement: A gentle opening is followed by a skittish theme which moves into a very strict march. this finally dissolves back to the gentle opening.
3rd Movement: A lively movement with a number of semiquaver, quaver figures, which eventually tune into quasi 'circus music.'
4th Movement: This movement opens with a repeated note figure followed by a chirpy second subject. This is extended into a short development before a dramatic return to the repeated note theme, and ending with a final flourish!
