Background: William Bolcom's compositions, widely performed and recorded, include seven symphonies, various concertos, six operas and an extensive catalogue of chamber music. Reflecting the composer's self-confessed fascination with the instrument since an early age, the four violin sonatas were composed over a period of 40 years.

The 1978 Second Sonata was inspired partly by the great jazz fiddler Joe Venuti, many of whose stylistic tricks, including alternate left- and righthand pizzicato, and double-stop slides, are incorporated into the work.

Bolcom has described his highly dramatic Third Sonata as 'stramba (weird)… Its last movement shares a mood somewhere between the darker tangos of Astor Piazzolla and Arabic music.'
