Sonata for Cello & Piano

Album by Richard Strauss & Benjamin Britten & Yo‐Yo Ma & Emanuel Ax

Sonata for Cello and Piano is a cello sonata by Richard Strauss, composed in 1883. The work is written in a late-Romantic chamber style, combining lyrical melodies with technically demanding passages for both instruments and serving as an early indicator of Strauss's interest in rich harmonic colour and orchestral thinking.
