The Violin Sonata was written for violinist Peter McHugh and pianist Naomi Oliphant and is dedicated to them. It was premiered by them on January 28, 1993 as part of the collaborative New Dimensions series of the Louisville Orchestra and the University of Louisville School of Music.

The work is in three movements. The outer movements are energetic and full of motion and momentum, while the interior movement has a quality of suspension, or floating.
