Maurice Journeau composed the 1st two movements of his Sonatine (Sonatina) Op.4 in 1922, at a time when he was still a student at the Ecole Normale de Musique de Paris. As for the third movement entitled "Final" (finale), it was written later in Biarritz, his native town where he returned In the year 1923.
The sonatina was followed by three others, yet the composer always considered it as the most significant one.
