Take Lekeu's splendid Sonata in G major; rugged and massive, making decided technical demands it yet has a wonderful breadth of melody, a great expressive quality of song." These works those who have heard the Master play the beautiful Lazarri sonata this season will not soon forget it are all dedicated to Ysaye. And this holds good, too, of the César Franck sonata.
And the modern violin sonata is also a vehicle for violin virtuosity in the very best meaning of the word. The sonatas of César Franck, d'Indy, Théodore Dubois, Lekeu, Vierne, Ropartz, Lazarri they are all highly expressive, yet at the same time virtuose. The violin parts develop a lovely song line, yet their technic is far from simple.
