Sonatas for Solo Violin

Album by Eugène Ysaÿe & James Ehnes

Sonatas for Solo Violin is a set of six solo violin sonatas by Belgian violinist and composer Eugène Ysaÿe, composed and published in 1923. The cycle combines late-Romantic virtuosity with early modernist harmonic and rhythmic language and places substantial technical and interpretative demands on the performer, contributing to the development of twentieth-century solo violin repertoire.
