Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Sonatas for Piano and Violin
The genre of piano and violin sonata interested Mozart from an early age before turning eleven he had already published sixteen such works, as his Op 1-4.
Modelled on the sonatas by Schubert, most of them rely heavily on sequential repetition and Alberti bass figures. The violin is clearly secondary it mostly doubles the piano part, with occasional imitative passages.
In 1778, Mozart took up the violin sonata again; he would write another twenty in the ensuing decade. In these later sonatas, little by little, the violin gets a more interesting role.
The sonatas K. 301-306 contain some of the first examples of movements where the piano part would make little sense without the violin.
The last sonatas belong to the composers masterpieces, blending concerto-like piano virtuosity with fluent and idiomatic violin writing.
