Violin Sonata in E minor, Op. 27 No. 4 (Ysaÿe)
Movements
i Allemanda: Lento maestoso, ii Sarabande: Quasi lento, iii Finale: Presto ma non troppo
Notes
In writing his six Opus 27 works in 1923, Belgian-born Ysaӱe had two things in mind: to pay homage to JS Bach, whose own works for solo violin were being increasingly played, and to present six fellow-fiddlers with fairly short virtuoso works which would suit their individual styles. This particular sonata was for Fritz Kreisler.
