The Sonata for violin and piano is the last composition by Claude Debussy (1862–1918). It was completed in spring, 1917. That was the third sonata among the six ones for various instruments implied by the composer at the end of his life.
The incurable illness was slowly breaking the back of the composer's creative process. The finale caused especially difficult work at it, for the composer remade it and changed the detalis during half a year not once.

Debussy characterzed his Sonata as “being full of vigorous agitation because of its utterly human discrepancy”. “This Sonata not deprived of sad irony would be interesting as the witness of an ill man giving birth to something during the war time”, — Debussy delt with his friend Robert Gode.

Two public performances were held, where Debussy acted as a pianist in his Sonata: at its premiere in Paris on May 5, 1917 with Gaston Pouler (violin) and the same year in September at Saint-Jean de Luse. Those two Concerts happened to be the last performances of the composer.
