Sonata, G-major, for Viola and Piano

The Sonata in G major for viola and piano by Jean-Maurice Bourges dates back to the 19th century, as he was active from 1812 until his death in 1881. Bourges was a versatile French composer and translator known for his contributions to both instrumental and vocal music, with works across opera, chamber music, and religious compositions. This sonata highlights his engagement with chamber music, though specific performance dates or further publication details of the sonata itself are harder to pinpoint from the records available. Bourges was especially involved in translating notable works by composers like Mendelssohn and Weber and even contributed original librettos for comic operas, illustrating his multifaceted role in the music scene of his time.
