Violin Sonata No. 3 (Hill)
Violin Sonata No. 3 in A minor, Stiles 1.2.1.6 So3,[1] is a sonata for violin and piano by Alfred Hill. Its music originates from his Piano Trio in A minor, Stiles 1.2.2.1 TrA (probably 1890s). It has no precise dating, but was obviously finished after Violin Sonata No. 2 (January 1906):[2] most probably in 1907. It was performed on 6 July 1908 at the YMCA Hall in Sydney by Cyril Monk (the dedicatee of Hill's previous sonata) and Constance Brandon Usher.[citation needed] Hill later arranged this sonata for flute and piano (the so-called Flute Sonata No. 2 in A minor, Stiles 1.2.1.1 SoA2).
