composed in 1934 by <a href="/wiki/Dmitri_Shostakovich" title="Dmitri Shostakovich">Dmitri Shostakovich</a>. It was also a period of emotional turmoil in his life, as he had fallen in love with a young student at a Leningrad festival featuring his <i><a href="/wiki/Lady_Macbeth_of_Mtsensk_District" class="mw-redirect" title="Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk District">Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk District</a></i>. Their affair resulted in a brief separation from his wife Nina; he composed the Cello Sonata during this period. He completed it within a few weeks and gave its premiere in Moscow on 25 December with his close friend, the cellist Viktor Kubatsky, who was also the piece's dedicatee. By late 1934 Shostakovich and Nina reunited and she eventually became pregnant with their first-born daughter, who was born in 1936. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Movements">Movements</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Cello_Sonata_(Shostakovich)&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Movements"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="I_–_Allegro_non_troppo"><span id="I_.E2.80.93_Allegro_non_troppo"></span>I – Allegro non troppo</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Cello_Sonata_(Shostakovich)&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: I – Allegro non troppo"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The <a href="/wiki/Sonata_form" title="Sonata form">sonata form</a> first movement contrasts a broad first theme in the cello, accompanied by flowing piano arpeggios, developed by the piano until reaching a climax.
