Sonata No. 2 op. 23 was composed around 1859 in Cologne. At that time, Franck was working as a teacher of music theory at the Cologne Conservatory. The 2nd violin sonata was published in print together with the 1st sonata op. 19. This is an early proof of the composer's later tendency to combine several works in one cycle.

Die Entstehung von op. 52 fallt in ein zeitlich und inhaltlich schwer abzugrenzendes Spannungsfeld. Die Stucke erschienen 1910 im Verlag von Albert Stahl in Berlin, als Richard Franck sich bereits nach Heidelberg zuruckgezogen hatte. Sie zahlen somit zu seinen letzten veroffentlichten Werken. Inhalt: I. Elegie wirkt ausgesprochen resigniert, fast wie ein Abschied. Die Flote steht ganz im Vordergrund dieses melancholischen, mit Chromatik angereicherten und klar strukturierten Adagio-Satzes. II. Der Reiter von Sankt Karli kommt als humorvolles Scherzo daher, wohl eine Anspielung auf die Schweiz, in der Franck einige Jahre verbrachte. Fast wirkt es wie eine Hommage an Schumann. Der Mittelteil dieses Scherzos, ein Andante, nimmt Bezug auf die elegische Stimmung des ersten Satzes. Es ist eine ruhigere Station, bevor der Reiter weiterzieht. III. Perpetuum mobile, so schnell als moglich kann man als Vorlaufer moderner Klangflachenkompositionen auffassen, aber naturlich auch als schlichtes, scherzhaftes Bravourstuck im Stile des Hummelflugs.

This work for violin and piano by Martin Bresnick is a play on the words suite and bittersweet. Each of the four movements is based on a Yiddish folk song, which in English translate to On the Road, My Resting Place, Black Cat, and Dona, Dona. Each of the four pieces is primarily based on a Jewish folk song, but re-envisions them in a modern context, akin to Bartok and Kodaly. The composer noted, I found it a very challenging, yet touching way to remain in contact with some part of my own past that I don't usually reveal. The title references the difficult (bitter) and pleasant (sweet) aspects of experiencing the tumultuous history of a people through their folk music.This work for violin and piano by Martin Bresnick is a play on the words suite and bittersweet.

The day that Australian and New Zealand forces joined the Allies for an invasion of the Gallipoli Peninsula of Turkey in World War I, with disastrous consequences, is celebrated in Australia as Anzac Day (Australian and New Zealand Army Corps). To honor this special day, Bresnick takes inspiration from two selected poems by Bertolt Brecht (And I Always Thought and Legend of the Unknown Soldier Beneath the Triumphal Arch). Commissioned to commemorate Australia’s Anzac Day, similar to Memorial Day, and inspired by two Brecht poems…The somber opening violin and clarinet lines unfolded to haunting effect before eventually reaching a fervent climax. --Vivien Schweitzer, The New York Times.
