New Jersey-born George Antheil traveled to Europe in 1922 determined to become 'noted and notorious' as a pianist-composer. The first three violin sonatas come from this period, with the eclectic No.1 displaying the fiercely barbaric influence of Stravinsky, and the more jazzy No.2 developing experiments in 'musical cubism'. No.3 achieves a synthesis of Stravinskian rhythms and Antheil's more song-like tendencies, while the later No.4 is built on Classical and Baroque models.
