violin sonata
Strings with keyboard
A violin sonata is a piece of classical music written for violin and piano, typically in three or four movements.
The form emerged in the Baroque era and flourished through the Classical and Romantic periods.
Despite the name emphasizing violin, both instruments share equal prominence: Beethoven's violin sonatas demand virtuosity from the pianist as much as the violinist.
