Sonatas for piano and violin of Albert Roussel

Albert Roussel composed three sonatas for piano and violin : the opus 11 and the opus 28.

The first, going back to 1902, was destroyed.

It is noted that they are called " for piano and violon" and not the reverse as it is of tradition, this probably to insist on the equivalence of the two parts.
