The Sonata no. 1 for violin and piano is a Sonata da Chiesa of Othmar Steinbauer and was in Vienna during the Second World War. The basic sound series is based on the following 41st trope : d – g – e – c – a – f / des – b – ges – es – as – ces.
1 sentence
The first movement is slow ( adagio ). The basic sound series is used in full twice. Then the first two sound tones are used again (d and g). The small modification is made with each run. This means that each tone is rotated within one half. A temporary exchange takes place for the tones 38 and 39, 53 and 54 as well as 87 and 88.
2nd movement
The second movement ( allegro ) consists of three parts A + B + A. The series of sounds is: g – e – c – a – f – des / b – ges – es – as – h – cisis. In total, this series of sounds is rotated 21 times, with the last row ending prematurely on the 9th row tone. Part A consists of a (is repeated) a '(5 bars) and a' '(8 bars). In total, this part consists of 20 (with repetition 27) bars. This section ends on the h of the 9th row of rotations. With this note, the nine-measure B-part begins with the note with which part A ends. This section begins with three voices, all materials are used three times and then performed freely. Part A is then used again, but without repetition.
3rd movement
The third movement ( andante ) is based on the series of sounds : c – a – f – des – b – ges / es – as – ces – d – g – e. The a and f are swapped for the first rotation series. This set consists of a theme and five variations , with three rows of rotations (7th row = 1st row). All of these series occur in every variation. The topic consists of three parts. In the first part there are only eleven series notes (c – f – a – des – b – ges / es – as – h – d – g). The B part begins on the 12th rotary tone and is added to the second row of rotations: e – a – f – des – b – ges – c – as – ces – d – g – e – es. The first part is played again. The second variation consists of a + b + c and the fourth variation consists of a + b + a '. The rotation rows 3 to 6 are completely left out. In addition, the first rotation row consists of 11 tones. The last row tone is added to the second row tone right at the beginning, so that this row consists of 13 tones:
4th movement
The three-part fugue (allegro) consists of a 14-tone row: f – dé – b – ges – es – as – ces – d – g – e – c – a + f – cis. It is the 6th rotation row. The structure is A + B + A. Part A (fast, 57 bars) consists of four themes and is nine bars. The second part (slow, 37) contains another topic and varies the topics before; the subject is a four-stroke.
