The title "duo" comes from the publisher Diabelli, posthumously, not from Schubert.

Schubert was an accomplished violinist and had already extensively composed for violin, including over a dozen string quartets, by the time he started to write violin sonatas at age 19. [2] [3] [4] The compositions for violin and piano D 384, 385 and 408 were named Sonata in Schubert's autographs.

The Violin Sonata No. 4 (also known as the Duo or Grand Duo) in A major, Op. posth. 162, D 574, for violin and piano by Franz Schubert was composed in 1817.

Schubert wrote the word "Sonata" in the heading of every manuscript of these pieces. It was Diabelli who, probably in the hope of increasing sales, gave them the title of "Sonatinen".

The Three Sonatas, Op. 137 were published as Sonatinas, but Schubert called them Sonatas. One can find recordings under both titles. He wrote the Op. 137 violin and piano works when he was nineteen years old – at the time he was writing his Fourth Symphony, Brian Newbould tells us, and he did not return to the genre.

2019年7月24日 · These sonatas are the work of a composer aged 19 who, in admiration of Mozart, drew close to the worlds of Weber and Beethoven. Two musicians got together to play these magnificent pieces: the excellent violinist Stéphanie Paulet and the pianist Daniel Isoir, who for the occasion plays an outstandingly beautiful Schott piano of 1835.

From March 1816 to August 1817, Franz Schubert composed four violin sonatas. All four were published after the composer's death: the first three, D 384, 385 and 408, as Sonatinas in 1836 (Op. posth. 137), and the last one, D 574, as Duo in 1851 (Op. posth. 162).

Is it simply because Schubert’s A major Sonata of 1817 was first published as ‘Duo’ while its three predecessors composed just a year earlier emerged in print as ‘sonatinas’ that many violinists have exclusively concentrated on the former?
