The final of three sonatas Johannes Brahms wrote for violin and piano, the Sonata No. 3 in d minor, Op. 108, is also the most intense. This sonata is different from the previous two in that it is comprised of four movements, rather than three. Beginning with the dormant passion of the first movement and ending in the obvious frenzy of the fourth, the piece covers wide range of emotions in a relatively short amount of time. Virtuosic and intellectual at the same time, this sonata has earned its place amongst the greatest sonatas ever written.
