Copland, Aaron - Sonata for Violin and Piano - Boosey & Hawkes Publication

It is a well thought out composition. There are simple but yet beautiful melodic lines that invoke Americana imagery and flavor. There are also exciting and challenging passages for both the violin and piano. The interaction between the two instruments is balanced and well laid out. There are very tight contrapuntal exchanges between the violin and piano, especially in the fast passages. Overall, it is a balanced and well written work. I consider it a masterpiece by Copland.
