Gross: Sonata for Unaccompanied Violin

Category: Violin Solo ** Composer: Robert Gross ** Title: Sonata For Unaccompanied Violin ** Publisher: Edition Peters ** Comments: Advanced Level.

"This three-movement work is very difficult, both musically and technically. It includes double-stops, enharmonics, glissandos, quick changes to pizzicato and back to arco, and covers the full extent of the violin's range; the player must resolve not to be intimidated by being asked to play anywhere from ppp to fff, nor by the rhythmic changes, extensive chromaticism and 16th-and 32nd-note passages."
