Vaňhal, J. B.: 3 Violinsonatas op. 30/3 G major

Edition for violin and piano, score and violin part.

Johann Baptist (Jan Křtitel) Vaňhal (1739-1813) was born in Nové Nechanice, Bohemia, but spent most of his adult life, from 1760 until his death, in Vienna. An accomplished organist, violinist, and cellist, Vaňhal earned his living in Vienna as a free-lance composer and teacher. He was well respected by Carl Ditters von Dittersdorf with whom he studied, and by Haydn and Mozart, both of whom performed his music in public. Among Vaňhal’s pupils was Ignaz Pleyel.
The three sonatas Op. 30 for piano with violin obbligato were first published by the Bureau of Arts and Industry (Vienna and Pest) in March, 1808. The title page reads as follows: »TROIS SONATES / pour / Pianoforte et Violon obligé / Composées et Dédiées / à / MADAME DE PRESTINARI / par /J. Wanhal / À Vienne et Pesth au bureau des arts et industrie«. The three sonatas Op. 30 are charming, representative works of moderate technical difficulty from the late Viennese Classical Period. They both recall the early keyboard writing of Muzio Clementi and prefigure the textures and melodic qualities of Franz Schubert’s three violin Sonatinas Op. 137. All three sonatas begin with first movement sonata allegros, follow with slow melodic ABA forms and conclude with rondos. Although originally titled »piano sonatas with violin obbligato«, melodic material is shared more or less equally between the two instruments.
