J. Brahms - Violin Sonata No.3 in D minor, Op.108

Johannes Brahms (German: [joˈhanəs ˈbʁaːms]; 7 May 1833 – 3 April 1897) was a German composer, pianist, and conductor of the mid-Romantic period. Born in Hamburg into a Lutheran family, he spent much of his professional life in Vienna. He is sometimes grouped with Johann Sebastian Bach and Ludwig van Beethoven as one of the "Three Bs" of music, a comment originally made by the nineteenth-century conductor Hans von Bülow.

Brahms composed for symphony orchestra, chamber ensembles, piano, organ, voice, and chorus. A virtuoso pianist, he premiered many of his own works. He worked with leading performers of his time, including the pianist Clara Schumann and the violinist Joseph Joachim (the three were close friends). Many of his works have become staples of the modern concert repertoire.

Brahms has been considered both a traditionalist and an innovator, by his contemporaries and by later writers. His music is rooted in the structures and compositional techniques of the Classical masters. Embedded within those structures are deeply romantic motifs. While some contemporaries found his music to be overly academic, his contribution and craftsmanship were admired by subsequent figures as diverse as Arnold Schoenberg and Edward Elgar. The diligent, highly constructed nature of Brahms's works was a starting point and an inspiration for a generation of composers.

ℹ️이 작품만의 특징으로는  스케일이 크고 협주곡적인 성격이 강하며 브람스의 바이올린 소나타 가운데 유일하게 4악장 구성이다. 브람스의 평생의 동반자로서 로베르트 슈만의 미망인인 클라라 슈만은 이 작품의 초고를 받아본 뒤 흥분된 어조로 다음과 같이 말한 바 있다. “당신은 너무나 아름다운 것을 선물해 주었군요”. 비슷한 시기에 작곡된 교향곡 4번 E단조와 바이올린과 첼로를 위한 2중 협주곡과 더불어, 이 바이올린 소나타 D단조는 만년에 접어들기 시작한 브람스의 음악적 자신감과 극적인 활력이 불꽃처럼 피어나는 명곡이다.
