Score + Part

After exploring many modernist trends, the composer, in his old age, wanted finally to write a ”proper” Late Romantic violin sonata, in which melodies could flourish freely, only spiced with fresh harmonies. The starting point was a tender musical portrait of a young violinist, which became the second movement of the sonata. The composer only needed to add a respectable first movement in sonata form, and some sprightly, atmospheric dances for the finale, and behold, a proper old-time pseudo-autobiographic violin sonata emerged. The title
naturally required the characterization “nostalgic”, just in case.
