Composed in honour of David Oistrakh's 60th birthday, this is Shostakovich's only violin sonata, a haunting work composed long after his two concertos for the instrument. Ravel's sonata is also a late work, contrasting sparse textures with a foray into American blues, the sound world which was all around him in 1920s Paris.
Tzigane was composed for the renowned Hungarian violinist Jelly d'ArΓ΅nyi, and appropriates the gypsy folk style. 'This Tzigane must be a piece of great virtuosity', he wrote while working on the score.
