Dvorak's only violin sonata was written in 1880, shortly after the Violin Concerto. However, this is a very different work, of a completely chamber-like character. It is a continuing dialogue between the two instruments along a succession of shifting moods. The first movement, Allegro ma non troppo, opens with the violin introducing the first subject. The piano, in turn, introduces the second subject. There are no great gestures or soaring climaxes. The movement follows its course and the music dies out quietly. The second, Poco sostenuto, is even more relaxed, an almost static melody in A major. The finale, Allegro molto, is a Rondo dominated by folk tunes.
