The Violin Sonata No. 4 (also known as the "Duo" or "Grand Duo") in A major, Op. posth. 162, D 574, for violin and piano by Franz Schubert was composed in 1817. This sonata, composed one year after his first three sonatas for the same instruments, is a much more individual work, showing neither the influence of Mozart, as in these previous works, or of Rossini, as in the contemporaneous 6th Symphony.[1]

Structure

The Sonata has four movements:

  1. Allegro moderato (A major), sonata form
  2. Scherzo: presto (E major), with C major trio
  3. Andantino (C major), loose ternary form
  4. Allegro vivace (A major), sonata form
