Eugene Goossens has written two sonatas for violin and piano, of which the first appeared in 1918. In an analysis of this work Edwin Evans says that ' at once the emotional side of his temperament and the devices of his personal temperament are found in full development. Except, however, in the lyrical slow movement, the sentiment is embedded in a context that harbours some contradictions, as if the voice of irony refused to be entirely silenced '.
