Hindemith himself said about his viola sonata: '... It is a powerful, well-fed piece with durable lining for cold weather. Second movement with a tricky rhythm to which one has to creep up carefully in order to master it. In the last movement which consists of two variations on an already fully developed rondo movement...' Hindemith shows again the wide range of his compositional and formal brilliance. New edition based on the text of the Hindemith Complete Edition.

In addition to the numerous violin pieces in H. Wieniawski's compositional output there is only one piee for viola and piano ''Reverie'' which is without opus number. The ''Dream'' ost probably comes from that period when Wieniawski stayed in London (1858-1859) and apart from his regular concert activities took part in chamber concerts which were very popular at that time. During one of the Beethoven-Quartett-Society concerts a quartet of four outstanding virtuosos (Ernst Joachim Wieniawski and Piatti the cellist) performed together. Wieniawski who played the viola on that occasion presumably concluded that there were too few original compositions for thisbeautiful instrument and decided to write a short viola piece himself. He endowed it with a lyrical character and the stamp of fervour characteristic of his other compositions. (S. Kamasa)
