The Sonata
à violin solo (M.S.
83) is an early work by
Paganini that can be
ascribed to the years
1796-1800, a period which
includes works such as
the posthumous Grande
concerto (M.S. 75), the
Inno patriottico con
variazioni (M.S. 81) and
the Tema variato (M.S.
82)for violin. There are
no doubts as to the
authenticity of the work:
the highly virtuosic
experimental writing, the
indications
“Organettoâ€
and
“Flagiolettoâ€
and the use of the fourth
string are all
distinctive traits found
in Paganini's writing
from this period which
link the Sonata to the
Inno patriottico con
variazioni and the Tema
variato. The most
significant
characteristics of this
composition are its
length and the
three-movement structure
that connect it to the
Classical style, at least
far as the first movement
is concerned: it is
written in sonata form,
something rarely seen in
Paganini's solo violin
works.
