Cesar Franck Sonata, arranged for Piano and Viola. Cesar Franck’s Sonata for Piano and Violin is one of the most treasured works in the violin repertoire. After Franck’s death in 1890 the original publisher of the Sonata, the Parisian house Julien Hamelle, announced an arrangement of the work for viola, but it has not been possible to locate any copy of this publication. The present arrangement for viola is largely based on Jules Delsart’s arrangement for piano and cello.
