Paderewski wrote his only violin sonata in 1885, during his stay in Vienna, where he perfected his
piano playing under Theodor Leschetizky. The piece was first performed a few months later in
Warsaw, at a concert filled entirely with Paderewski's works. It was then played by the author's
friend Władysław Górski. And today violinists eagerly reach for this work, saturated with a wealth of
diverse emotions and endowed with a virtuoso "claw".
Theme original varie Op. 15 was written while Wieniawski was on a tour of East Prussian cities (1854). He dedicated the piece to the concertmaster of the Leipzig Gewandhaus orchestra, Rajmund Dreyschock, whom he met during his debut concert at that renowned institution. The work does not differ in musical content from the compositions Wieniawski wrote with his performances for the general public in mind. It is full of virtuoso effects (playing in octaves, chords, flageolets, brilliant passages, staccato), and its narrative is full of surprises: the variations are framed by a kind of virtuoso cadenza; it concludes with a brilliant waltz.
Among the few violin sonatas by Polish composers from the early 20th century is Karol Szymanowski's Sonata for Piano and Violin in D minor Op. 9 (1904). And this work alludes to the Romantic idiom of the sonata as a genre in which the composer can demonstrate a comprehensive knowledge of the technique and an ability to strictly manage the form. At a similar time Szymanowski wrote two more piano sonatas, which betrayed the serious compositional ambitions of the young composer, then still a composition student at the Warsaw Academy.
The miniature Subito is one of Lutosławski's last works. It was written as a compulsory piece for a violin competition in Indianapolis and, as befits a competition piece, demands a great deal from the performer. Its features include sudden contrasts of rhythm, dynamics and articulation.
