Violin Sonata No. 19 (Ries)

Ferdinand Ries's Violin Sonata in D minor, Op. 83, was composed in Paris in 1808, the same year as the composer's violin sonata Op. 10 and the Op. 20 and Op. 21 cello sonatas. [1] The composition was not published, however, until 1818, after he had moved to London, in a simultaneous edition by both Clementi & Co and Chappell & Co. with a dedication to the "Princess Hatzfeld".[2]

Structure

The sonata is in three movements:

1. Allegro con brio
2. Andantino con moto
3. Rondo: Allegro vivace

Typical performances should take around 20 minutes.
