A violin sonata is a musical composition for solo violin, which is nearly always accompanied by a piano or other keyboard instrument, or by figured bass in the Baroque period.
Some violin sonatas, notably those by Mozart and early Beethoven, are primarily piano works with the violin playing a lesser role.
