Violin Sonatas, op. 78, op. 100, op. 108

Album by Johannes Brahms & Josef Suk & Julius Katchen

Violin Sonatas, Op.78, Op.100 and Op.108 are a set of violin sonatas by Johannes Brahms composed between 1878 and 1888. They exemplify Brahms's late Romantic chamber style, combining lyrical, song-like violin writing with a richly textured and technically involved piano part within classical sonata structures and reflecting the composer's evolving approach to harmonic depth and expressive contrast in his chamber music.
