for violin and cello
Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco Collection
This Sonata for Violin and Cello is one of the most extensive and elaborate chamber works by Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco. In its complex architecture the composer pours his harmonic and contrapuntal expertise and issues a chivalric challenge to the future performers’ mastery – at the time he wrote it, he indeed doubted the composition could find any virtuoso capable of performing it.
