Violin Sonatas
Album by Béla Bartók & Christian Tetzlaff & Leif Ove Andsnes
Violin Sonatas is a set of two violin sonatas by Hungarian composer Béla Bartók, composed in 1921 and 1922. They blend late-Romantic virtuosity with emerging modernist techniques—notably folk-influenced rhythms, pungent dissonances and novel textural writing—and mark a movement in Bartók's chamber music toward a more experimental, modernist language in his career.
