Par HAHN. Having been considered as a 'fashionable' and 'cliche' composer of his day, Hahn 's compositions are possibly not as well-known as they ought to be. Sonata In C Major for Violin and Piano, however, shatter these prejudices held, representing the engaging diversity of the composer's music.

He received a high standard of musical education from Decombes, Lavignac, Dubois and Massenet, before becoming a prolific and versatile composer himself, writing works for all genres.
