Sergei Prokofiev's Violin Sonata No. 1 in F minor, written between 1938 and 1946 (completed two years after Violin Sonata No. 2), is one of the darkest and most brooding works the composer has ever written.

The work is about 30 minutes long and is in four movements:

  1. Andante assai
  2. Allegro brusco
  3. Andante
  4. Allegrissimo - Andante assai, come prima

Prokofiev had described the slithering violin scales at the end of the 1st and 4th movements as 'wind passing through a graveyard'.
