Comments  Transcribed by the composer from his Sonata for Violin and Piano. Dedicated to the memory of Lt. Harry H. Dunham. Copland writes: "It is certainly one of the least complex pieces that I've ever written ... You might say that the Violin Sonata of 1943 is well on the way to Appalachian Spring, composed the next year." The sonata has been transposed down a major third.
