Viola Sonata.

About Viola Sonata

Felix Mendelssohn composed his Viola Sonata in C minor, MWV Q 14, when he was only 14 years old. The autograph score is dated 14 February 1824. The work was not published in Mendelssohn's lifetime — in fact not until 1966 — and it was not assigned an opus number. Although he did reuse one of the themes from the minuet movement in the equivalent movement of his First Symphony.
