Richard Strauss composed his only violin sonata in 1887, and it was published the following year. It is one of the final early chamber works Strauss wrote, before turning to orchestral and stage works which preoccupied the next portion of his career. It is noted for being one of the longest violin sonatas in the repertoire, and for its technically difficult violin and piano parts.
