The single-movement Sonata No. 3 in D minor, Ballade, is dedicated to the great Romanian violinist and composer George Enescu, the principal later teacher of Yehudi Menuhin in Paris. It opens in the manner of a recitative, leading to a passage in 5/4 and then a 3/8 Allegro giusto with dotted rhythms, as the tale unfolds, followed by rapid triplet figuration and a brief relaxation, before the dotted rhythms return, leading to the excitement of the ending.
