Violin Sonata in F minor (Mendelssohn)
The Violin Sonata in F minor, Op. 4, for violin and piano was composed by Felix Mendelssohn in 1825 and is the only one to carry an opus number. Mendelssohn composed two other violin sonatas, both in F major, that are without opus numbers.
Unlike his famous violin work, the Violin Concerto in E minor, the sonata lacks dramatic expositions, however still containing composer's calm chamber music and early-onset brilliancy.
Movements
The work has three movements:
- Adagio - Allegro moderato
- Poco adagio
- Allegro agitato
A typical performance lasts about 22 minutes.
