Maurice Ravel (1875-1937) composed two sonatas for violin and piano, first one in 1897 and the later one during the period between 1923 and 1927. The first sonata wasn¡¦t discovered until 1975. The second one is more popular nowadays.
In addition to the introduction and the conclusion, this thesis is divided into three chapters. The first chapter provides general information of these two sonatas. It emphasizes on the deep thoughts had given during Revel¡¦s composing, and records of the leading performers and performances of the two sonatas for violin and piano. In chapter two, the author analyzes and compares the structures and the writing methods for each movement from both sonatas. In addition, the author integrates correlations and the breakthrough points in each movement from both sonatas. Last chapter explores the violin techniques of these two works. Musical and technical suggestions are provided on the execution and interpretation.
These two sonatas are the only ones written for violin and piano among all the strings chamber music works by Maurice Ravel. They are also the first and the last strings chamber music works Ravel composed. Each of the sonatas represents different music era of Ravel. The similarities and differences of writing style and violin technique used by Ravel in these two sonatas are presented in this thesis. The diversity of Ravel's sonatas for violin and piano certainly enriches the repertoire of performing violinists.
