As with many early 20th-century pieces for solo violin, behind Bartók’s Sonata lies one of the great interpreters of the 20th century, Menuhin, who commissioned the work in ’43. Bartók worked on it during the terrible treatments for leukemia, of which the Sonata however bears no trace. On the contrary, the composer infuses it with a vigorous impetus, rich in inflections of Hungarian popular music and skilfully blended with the Bach model, honored in the opening Chaconne and in the Fugue of the second movement. .
