Lastly, the animated finale opens with mysterious open fifths and a theme that propels the movement forward with an indomitable energy. Framed by this warm and serene music is a quick and nimble central episode in the key of the tonic minor. The middle movement, marked “alla Romanza,” in contrast opens with a delicate and charming E major melody for the piano that is in turn picked up by the violin. In the traditional three-movement pattern, the sonata opens with a turbulent sonata form movement, juxtaposing an agitated first theme in C minor against a lyrical tune in the relative major. Its premiere came in December 1887 in Leipzig with Grieg himself at the piano accompanying the noted Russian violinist Adolf Brodsky. Grieg dedicated the work to the painter Franz von Lehnbach. 3, unlike its companions, occupied Grieg for a significantly longer time, and was not completed until January of the following year. 3, however, was the only one to achieve lasting success, and has found a permanent place in the standard repertoire of the instrument.Ĭomposed at Grieg’s lakeside home, Troldhaugen, during the summer of 1886, the Violin Sonata No. On the other hand, the second, which Grieg’s teacher Niels Gade complained of being “too Norwegian,” is somewhat more well-known.

The first sonata was a particularly youthful work and today is seldom heard. Among Grieg’s multi-movement works are three violin sonatas that were composed between 18. Yet, this was not the result of any lack of skill, but apparently only of personal choice. With the exception of a modest number of large-scale works, these smaller forms dominated his output. Edvard Grieg is primarily known as a composer of miniatures.
