Prokofiev's sonatas for violin and piano, though less well known than his concertos, show him adept at writing chamber music of virtuoso calibre. In the second sonata, his treatment of the piano is masterly. and his approach to the violin highly individual. This individuality is to some extent stressed by the absence of gold-spun G string melodies: everything seems to favour the upper register of the instrument. In view of the fact that the work was first written, and published, as a sonata for flute and piano, this characteristic texture com<s as no surprise. But by 1944 the composer had decided to substitute bowing for blowing, and accordingly issued a new version with violin supplanting flute. Thanks to technical assistance from the great Russian violinist, Oistrakh, this re-arrangement is most effective, though the flute has clearly left its mark.
The four movements of the sonata
(MoJerato, Scherzo, Andante, and Allegro con brio) are not difficult to grasp in the light of a remark by Prokofiev's son, who once said that his father wrote quite ordinary music, and then prokofievised it.
