Not to be confused with Violin Sonata in F major (1820) (Mendelssohn) or Violin Sonata in F major (1838) (Mendelssohn).

The Violin Sonata (No. 2) in F minor, Op. 4, MWV Q 12 for violin and piano was composed by Felix Mendelssohn in 1823[1] and is the only one to carry an opus number. Mendelssohn composed two other violin sonatas, both in F major, that were not published in his lifetime. This was published with a dedication to his friend and violin teacher, Eduard Rietz, who was also dedicatee of the composer's Octet in E-flat major, Op. 20.[2]

Movements

[edit]

The work has three movements:

  1. Adagio – Allegro moderato
  2. Poco adagio
  3. Allegro agitato

A typical performance lasts about 22 minutes.

Unlike his more famous violin work, the Violin Concerto in E minor, this sonata lacks dramatic exposition. It does contain a calm beauty that is typical of the composer's chamber music, and it demonstrates the brilliance of his early compositions.
