Theviola sonatais asonataforviola,sometimes with other instruments, usuallypiano.The earliest viola sonatas are difficult to date for a number of reasons:
- in theBaroqueera, there were many works written for theviola da gamba,including sonatas (the most famous beingJohann Sebastian Bach'sThree Sonatas for Viola da Gamba and Harpsichord,now most often played on thecello)[citation needed]
- in theClassicalera and earlyRomantic,there were few works written with viola specifically in mind as solo instrument, and many of these, like those of the Stamitz family, may have been written for theviola d'amore,like most of their viola works—though it is now customary to play them on the viola; it was more typical to publish a work or set, likeGeorge Onslow's opus 16 cello sonatas, orJohannes Brahms'sClarinet Sonatasin the late 19th century, that specified the viola as an alternate. Two early exceptions were theviola sonataofFelix Mendelssohn(1824, posthumously published in 1966) and the opus 1 sonata of the composerErnst Naumann(1832–1910), published in 1854.
- The viola returned to a solo role in the 20th century.Max Regerwrote three sonatas for either clarinet or viola at the beginning of the century.Paul Hindemith,himself a viola virtuoso, composed works several sonatas for viola solo, and others for viola and piano such as theSonata for Viola and Piano, Op. 11 No. 4in 1919.Rebecca Clarkecomposed theSonata for viola and pianothe same year.Bax'sViola Sonata,written (like Walton's concerto) for the great English viola playerLionel Tertisin 1923, is one of his most-played and oft-recorded chamber works.Mieczysław Weinbergwrote four viola sonatas between 1971 and 1983. TheSonata for Viola and Piano,Op. 147, is the last composition byDmitri Shostakovich,completed in July 1975 and dedicated toFyodor Druzhinin.[1]György Ligetiwrote hisSonata for Solo Violabetween 1991 and 1994.
- In the 21st century,Graham Waterhousewrote a viola sonata entitledSonata ebraica,completed in 2013.[2]
