Sonata in F Major Opus 8 for Violin and Piano (Peters) by Edvard Grieg
arranged by Maxim Jacobsen
Edvard Grieg wrote this sonata in 1865 while on a summer holiday with Benjamin Feddersen in Rungsted, Denmark, near Copenhagen. It was composed not long after his only piano sonata was completed. Regarding this work, the Norwegian composer Gerhard Schjelderup commented that it was "the work of a youth who has seen only the sunny side of life" However, many parts of the work are dark and turbulent in mood.

Jakob Dont, a Viennese violin pedagogue, wrote the 24 "Études et Caprices", Op. 35, which are violin solos without accompaniment and are considered essential classics. Published in 1880, the pieces consist of 48 pages and are edited by H. Berkley at a very advanced level. The etudes have been reworked by violinists such as Carl Flesch, Max Rostal, and Ivan Galamian in numerous new editions throughout the twentieth century.
