Contents
Enesco's work for violin and piano, disregarding un-numbered and posthumous pieces, is limited to three Sonatas and this Suite, which came last. The chronology of the pieces covers the course of a day (day and night). The music is strongly influenced by Romanian folklore.
The first performance took place in Bucharest on February 22, 1942 with the composer on violin and Dinu Lipatti on piano.
The suite is composed of 10 different pieces, a performance lasting around 20 minutes.
The score is published by Durand-Salabert-Eschig.
