Transcription for Cello and Piano. By Kazimierz Wiłkomirski. By Karol Szymanowski. Classical. Book Only. Composed 1987. 44 pages. Polskie Wydawnictwo Muzyczne #PWM8613. Published by Polskie Wydawnictwo Muzyczne (BT.PWM8613). Sonata in D minor is Szymanowski's earliest violin work and was written in 1904. In its conventional character one clearly feels the dependence on the violin sonatas of Franck ahd Brahms and the composer's desire to master the traditional, three-movement cyclic form. Sonata for violin and piano (arranged for cello by Kazimierz Wi komirski), a juvenile work, in spite of the fact that its style is still not crystallised, betrays the composer's growing interest in tone colour and foreshadows the bold and rich melodic line characteristic of Szymanowski's later works.
