Sonata for unaccompanied violin played by Max Rostal
This Sonata, one of Bartok's last works, was completed in March 1944. It was written for Menuhin, who played it for the first time in November 1944, in the Carnegie Hall, New York. The Sonata, which tests the powers of a violinist to the fullest extent, is designed on the tinea of those by Bach, though of course its idiom is characteristic of Bartok. There are four movements: Tempo di Ciacona (Chaconne), Fuga. Melodia, and Presto.
