Saint-Saens Sonata no. 2 for Violin and Piano in E-flat major op. 102
The second half of the 19th century represented something of a âGolden Ageâ of the violin sonata in France: influential violin sonatas such as those by Franck, FaurĂ© and Saint-SaĂ«ns were among the successful works of this genre, inspiring many further compositions.
Saint-SaĂ«nsâ Violin Sonata no. 2 was written in 1896 during a stay of several months by the composer in Egypt: he began the main themes of all four movements as well as the canonic trio in Luxor and Aswan. The sonata was then completed on the Nile journey back to Cairo. That same year the sonata was premiered by Saint-SaĂ«ns and Pablo Sarasate in a concert celebrating the composerâs fiftieth stage anniversary. Astoundingly, he had first appeared on stage when he was only ten years old.
