The Cello Sonata in G minor, Op. 65, was written by Frédéric Chopin in 1846. It is one of only nine works of Chopin published during his lifetime that were written for instruments other than piano (although the piano still appears in every work he wrote). Chopin composed four sonatas, the others being piano sonatas. The cello sonata was the last of Chopin's works to be published in his lifetime.

It is written in four movements:

Allegro moderato in G minor
Scherzo in D minor, Trio in D major
Largo in B-flat major
Finale. Allegro in G minor, ending in G major

The sonata was written for and dedicated to Auguste Franchomme, and was played by Franchomme and Chopin at the composer's last public concert, at the Salle Pleyel on 16 February 1848.^[1]
