Summary/Abstract: The Second Sonata by V. Verhola, created in 1972, continues the line of expressive musical images, declared in the composer's first similar opus – Sonata-Rhapsody for violin and piano. It is written in the form of a two-part cycle. The first part is structured in sonata form, where the exposition is divided into two sections: the main and bridge themes sound in the first section, while the secondary and closing themes appear in the second one. The main and bridge themes have a philosophical and reflective character, the secondary and closing parts embody dance images. The second part carries the function of the Finale and has a pronounced Moldovan National character. The music language surprisingly combines features of concert and chamber music. The creation rightfully holds the proper place in the teaching program of the Academy of Music, Theatre and Fine Arts of the Republic of Moldova and can be recommended for stage performances by concert pianists and violinists.
