Sonate in Es-Dur, Opus 18

Description

Based on traditional sonata form, this expressive piece contains distinctive Straussian characteristics evident in his later symphonic settings and operas. Strauss appreciated this work  very much and performed it often. The new attractive notation of this edition should be another incentive for every serious violinist to perform, as Strauss did himself, this most  beautiful early work. Based on the text of the Critical Edition (Richard Strauss Works).
