This Sonata for violin and piano op.67 was composed in 1994 after a long persistence from the eminent violinist and friend Jaume Francesch. The sad part of this composition was that the violinist Jaume Francesch, to whom I dedicated the piece, was not able to premiere it since he passed away the same year. Manuel Guillén premiered it brilliantly the next year.

As all my sonatas for instrument and piano, the piano has a role as important as the soloist interacting with him/her in a true duo. A gentle lyricism dominates the exposition of the first movement in «sonata» form. The music in 5/4 flows delicately in all the tessitura of the violin with subtle textures. In its development section the music becomes more aggressive and rhythmic while always continuing this magic ambience, the first theme of the slow movement has an introductory character through a high and distant melody in harmonics presented by the soloist which repeats three more times in fughe style by the piano each time an octave lower. After a short but intense interlude by the piano, the violin presents de principal theme of the movement rhythmically calm and expressive, which progressively becomes faster and tenser. Once the culmination of the piece is reached, the music becomes calmer to find a very relaxed end presenting once more both themes in a mirror form.

The last movement, un ternary rhythm with marked accents and hemiolias, is written in a modified rondo form. The central part is totally based on the first theme of the second movement where it achieves an exciting development. A fast and energetic Coda ends effulgently the piece.
