Carpenter was born in Park Ridge, Illinois on February 28, 1876, and raised in a musical household. He was educated at Harvard University, where he studied under John Knowles Paine, and was president of the Glee Club, also writing music for the Hasty-Pudding Club. Showing great promise as a composer, he journeyed to London to study under Edward Elgar, and finally succeeded in studying with him in Rome in 1906, later returning to the United States to study under Bernhard Ziehn in Chicago through 1912. It was there he earned a comfortable living as vice-president of the family business, a shipping supply company, from 1909 to his retirement in 1936. After his retirement, he spent much of his time composing. Carpenter served as Chairman of the Board of Children's Home Society of Illinois and a life trustee of the Children's Home Society of Illinois Foundation. He died in Chicago on April 26, 1951.

A beautiful piece of music and fine performance. Impressionist style. He's so underated that not even on most people's radar. I've been listening to Classical music for 50 years and although i had heard of J.A. Carpenter i only now have listened to his music with delight and appreciation. Too bad he didnt write more. So well balanced between violin and piano. Both a strong piece with delicacy. I enjoy his sense of harmony. Thanks !
Majestic piece. Even rhetoric or better to say, oratoric. Because Carpenter here speaks in grave sentences. The dictions of the two instruments are evenly solemn, although the Violin part is more loquacious, the Piano part is more moderate but also matterful. This is a beautiful but heavy piece, even the Presto giocoso sounds somehow ponderous. So personal and emotional. I like it thoroughly. Thanks a lot for the upload!
Thank you for this wonderful late romantic violin sonata. Again a very fine discovery : the composer and the composition.
OMG… The 3th part… it’s a masterpiece
really nice work
Wunderschöne und lyrische Interpretation dieser spätromantischen und fein komponierten Sonate im gut betrachteten Tempo mit seidigem doch gut phrasiertem Ton der genialen Violine und klarem Klang des ebenso genialen Klaviers. Der dritte Satz klingt echt schön und auch mysteriös. Der intime und perfekt entsprechende Dialog zwischen den beiden Virtuosen ist echt ergreifend. Einfach wundervoll!
1. Larghetto 0:05
