Violin Sonata, JW VII/7
Violin Sonata, a composition for violin and piano, is a work of the Czech composer Leoš Janáček (1854–1928). It was written in the summer of 1914, but it was not Janáček’s first attempt to create such a composition. He resolved to compose a violin sonata already as a student at the conservatoire in Leipzig in 1880, and later during his studies in Vienna. His early sonatas are today lost.
