Violin sonata

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A violin sonata is a musical composition for solo violin, often (but not always) accompanied by a piano or other keyboard instrument, or by figured bass in the Baroque.

Some violin sonatas, notably those by Mozart and early Beethoven, are primarily piano works with the violin playing a lesser role.
