Fiddle Sonata for violin, cello and piano composed and adapted by Mark OConnor was a commission from the Library Of Congress in Washington D.C. It was premiered in Jefferson Hall during their prestigious 97-98 chamber music season. The Library was featuring piano in their programming that year therefore requesting OConnor to compose utilizing the instrument. The premier was broadcast on NPRs "Performance Today" and was also the centerpiece for a national public radio special "Americas Fiddler, Mark OConnor at the Library Of Congress". Although OConnor did not utilize the piano as a back-up instrument in his childhood fiddling contests, it does have a tradition accompanying fiddlers in Scotland, Shetland and Canada. For inspiration OConnor used these influences as well as those from the French Canadians.
