Hereceived 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. For Hahn, music was a magical art andhiscompositions often contain expressions of his otherwise hidden emotions and moods. Sonata In C Major contains a variety of different features, making for a pleasant and evocative piece for advancedviolinists.
