Dvorak: Violin Sonata

Antonin Dvorak wrote this, his only violin sonata, in 1880, at the same time as his violin concerto. The sonata has three movements which last around 23 minutes in a complete performance. The first movement opens pensively but expands out to include a folk-like second subject. The second movement is slow and expressive while the finale has a joyous and catchy theme.
