Violin Sonata in E-flat major (Ries)

Ferdinand Ries composed his Violin Sonata in E-flat major, WoO. 7^[a] in 1804, when he was 22 years old. Surviving in manuscript form in the Berlin State Library, there is no evidence the work was performed during the composer's lifetime and was amongst a number of compositions that remained unpublished at the composers death.^[1]

Structure[edit]

The sonata is structured in five movements, one of which is crossed out in the manuscript:

Allegro con brio
Andantino ^[b]
Allegro molto
Adagio molto expressivo
Allegro molto vivace

References[edit]

Notes

^ The manuscript title is "Grande Sonata pour le Piano-Forte avec un Violon oblige"
^ Cecil Hill reports that this movement exists only as a crossed out violin part. The accompanying note claims that the movement was included in the composers violin sonata, Op. 18, however Hill states that this is not the case, nor is it in any of the composers other sonatas.
