The F-A-E Sonata

The F-A-E Sonata is somewhat unusual in that it was written by three composers . Robert Schumann and two of his young pro­ teges, Johannes Brahms and Albert Dietrich, prepared the work to welcome to DUsseldorf the great violinist , who was a close friend of all three. Schumann contributed Movements II and IV : Brahms supplied Movement III; and Dietrich composed Movement I. The piece was first performed by Joachim, with Schumann's wife Clara assisting at the keyboard, on Octo- . ber 27, 1853. Part of the fun at the premiere was making the performer declare which composer had created each movement. The "F-A-E" nickname is derived from a motto favored by Joachim, "Frei, aber einsam" [Free, but lonesome] and is manifested musically by the use of a musical theme contrived from pitches of the same name.
