violin sonatas
I have been trying to find any violin sonatas that were also transcribed to cello. I only know of a couple, like the violin sonata Op. 78 from Brahms, but it is not one of my favorites. Any recomendations? One that would possibly be fairly simple to learn? I also am addicted to any cello accompanied by piano works if you know of any.

Pablo Casals recorded a cello rendition of Beethoven's sonata for piano and horn opus 17. The biggest problem with this LP recording was the fact that he recorded it in the Beethoven House which at the time had terrible accoustics.

There are quite a few recordings of the cello arrangement (Beethoven's own) these days, I have two myself. Fortunately neither are Casal's (and I'm not talking about the accoustics!)Originally posted by Hofrat:

The best example I can think of is Schubert's wonderful Arpeggione Sonata in A minor, D.821. Written for a now obsolete instrument, it holds up very well for either the viola or the 'cello.Originally posted by lauren:

But it sounds much much better with arpeggione.Originally posted by PDG:

Marek, I've never heard a recording with an arpeggione. Can you recommend a recording?Originally posted by Marek Krukowski:

I know only one - Klaus Storck on arpeggione and Alfons Kontarsky on Graf fortepiano (Archiv). I don't know if it is available on CD.Originally posted by PDG:

I know them, as well as the recording by Alfred Lessing and Jozef de Beenhouwer. None of the three is really satisfying, musically or technically, but the instrument cannot be blamed for that. It was quite a shock when I heard the lp with Storck and Kontarsky for the first time, many years ago. The instrument's sound has an inward lyricism, which fits perfectly to the Biedermeier style that Schubert was surrounded by.Originally posted by Marek Krukowski:

There are good recordings available where the arpeggione is replaced by a violin, a viola, or a cello (and a bizar but fascinating orchestration of the piece with G. Cassado playing the cello), but the arpeggione really stole my heart.
I uploaded the 1st mvt of the Storck recording to this site:
