Abstract

This study evaluates the compositional style of Richard Strauss’s Violin Sonata in E flatmajor based on existing scholarly writings and my own analysis, with the purpose of offering informed performance suggestions. Discussions of stylistic interpretation and technical elements are included in each movement of the work. In addition, historical background of the composer and the sonata is provided. The study discusses the development of Strauss’ early chamber music. Performance suggestions are provided on the aspects of bowing and fingerings, the rhythm difficulties, intonation preparation, the balance of tone colors, and the musical interpretation. Besides, comparisons with several of Strauss’ orchestral works will be made in discussing of the orchestral effect that applied in this sonata.
