Paul Ben-Haim wrote his Three Studies for violin in 1981, exactly thirty years after his Sonata in G, and like the previous work they were composed for and are dedicated to Yehudi Menuhin. 

The opening piece of the Three Studies is a kind of inspired "Etude." It is followed by an artful "Fuga" in a lyrical vein. The final movement takes the form of a toccata that does not lack some humorous moments. 

Yehudi Menuhin has spoken enthusiastically about this solo work and prepared the world premiere as a birthday present to the composer.
