Chopin: Cello Sonata

Chopin's cello sonata is one of only a few pieces he wrote that were not for solo piano, although of course the piano plays a substantial role here! It was the last work published in Chopin's lifetime, in 1846. Much of the music stems from the opening statement in the first movement. The third movement Largo is beautifully melodic and often used on its own as an encore, before a dramatic finale brings the sonata to a close.
