Sonata for Violin and Piano

One of Fine's first mature works, this neoclassical sonata is elegant, urbane, restless, and refined. The first movement, in A major, jauntily skips from the dance hall to the learned Baroque fugue to the French salon. The second movement, in F, considers with equal detachment more serious moods: the lullaby, the tango, the barcarole -- before the work returns to A major for a busy, energetic closing movement.
