The Sonatina, Op. 100, (arranged by saxophonist Jeffrey Heisler for soprano saxophone [or Bb clarinet] and piano) was written during Dvořák's stay in the USA in 1893, and is dedicated to his six children. On January 2, 1894, the composer wrote to his publisher Simrock: I am healthy and well, having just completed my 100th work, a sonatina for violin and piano. It is intended for the youth (dedicated to my children), but grown-ups, adults, shall enjoy themselves with it as they see fit.
Inspired by the fascinating landscape of North America and by meetings with the native inhabitants, a wealth of impressions has found its way into the movements of this sonatina. And that, accordingly, makes it a part of the teaching canon that is not only useful, but also very attractive. Â Designed as a recital or pedagogical piece with great musicial depth, perfect for students and professionals alike.
