Spinner's Violin Sonata – Why op. 1?
View through CrossRef
Leopold Spinner composed his Sonata for Violin and Piano at the age of 30, in Vienna, in late 1936, while Studying with Webern. It was performed in Vienna on 22 November of that year under the auspices of the Austrian Section of the ISCM. In 1940—having in the meantime been forced to emigrate to this country—he made a slightly revised version of the work, which seems to have remained unheard until this year.
