Brahms' three violin sonatas are intimate autobiographical confessions with a close connection to his songs. For Brahms, the art song was the most direct expression of his feelings and world views. Some of this flowed into these sonatas through quotations and gave them a poetic content. The last movement of the G major sonata is derived from the second of the three "Regenlieder" and also refers to the song "Nachklang". the biographer Max Kalbeck called the A major sonata "a love and song sonata". It was composed in 1886 on Lake Thun "in anticipation of a dear friend", the singer Hermine Spies. The slow movement of the D minor sonata is characterized by a song-like expression without direct quotation.
