Feel like sending an email to one of the two libraries that has that CD, since it's not turning up anywhere online- Discogs, Ebay, anywhere really.

If the cd only contains this work, then I suspect it's an archive recording, not commercially released......

As one of these libraries is (almost) within walking distance from me so that I can easily go and investigate some time soon – and report back.

Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Wheesht, I'm looking forward to it. I played the opening theme of the first violin sonata from the score and consider it promising enough.

[Alan Howe]

Thanks to you all.

The CD contains just the sonata, in a recording from 2005: Simon Loosli, violin and Jacques Pasquier, piano. It comes with a minimal booklet.
The total playing time is 27 minutes and 21 seconds.
The movements have the following timings:

1. Mässig bewegt 8:37
2. Sehr munter 5:40
3. Langsam 5:27
4. Lebhaft bewegt 7:37

Thanks again! Mind if I add a small amount of that information to the IMSLP page? (Also, does the booklet, though minimal, at least give a clue as to composition date? )

(Apparently op.34 was published in 1905 so the 1922 publication date of Op.33 might not be the last word as to its composition date...)

[Wheesht]

Do go ahead and add what you like of that information to IMSLP. The booklet notes were written by the violinist's wife, I think, who states that the sonata was composed in 1905 and performed by Arnold Rosé in Vienna in 1911.

Thanks!
