Violin Sonata in D major (Hindemith)
The Sonata in D for piano and violin op. 11 No. 2 is a chamber music work composed in 1918 by Paul Hindemith .
Emergence
The violin sonata was written at the end of the First World War , between September and November 1918. It is based on the music of Romanticism and Impressionism . Hindemith originally referred to the work as " Sonatina " and numbered it Op. 11 No. 3. He chose the art-loving Frankfurt couple Abdul (Alfred) Linder and his wife Olly Linder as the dedicatee.
The musicians Max Strub (violin) and Eduard Zuckmayer (piano), brother of the writer Carl Zuckmayer , premiered the approx. 20-minute piece in Frankfurt am Main on April 10, 1920 .
In 1920 the piece was moved to Schott in Mainz. The 24-page score owned by Alfred Wolf is kept at the Hindemith Institute in Frankfurt am Main. The work has been handed down to the Hindemith Complete Edition since 1976 in Volume V, 6 (Chamber Music III) edited by Peter Cahn .
