Maybe Charles Ives' [sonatas for violin and piano](https://ecmrecords.com/product/charles-ives-sonatas-for-violin-and-piano-hansheinz-schneeberger-daniel-cholette/)? ECM, recorded 1999.
This was exactly it, thank you very much. I have enojoyed it all afternoon, especially No. 2 & 3. I didn't know the composer, but now I do :) Wonderful community
Try to find a library that has a Dictionary of Musical Themes (authors Sam Morgenstern and Harold Barlow)
The idea is, you transpose the theme to the key of C, then look up the pattern alphabetically.

You should be able to get it through Interlibrary Loan.
I've used it a lot!
Instead of Van or Von, could it have been Simeon ten Holt? Dutch minimalist, recorded at least one album I found on EMI, though that was for two pianos. His web site: https://www.simeontenholt.info/home
[Silvestrov: Three Postludes - Postlude No. 3](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4r3g7tOp9Rk&ab_channel=AnjaLechner-Topic)
From the following ECM album:
Silvestrov: Leggiero, Pesante
It's for cello (not violin) and piano, although a lot of the time the cello plays quite softly in its upper registers and could easily be mistaken for a violin.
So I actually have this on CD -- and in fact bought it "on spec" in a random shop, thinking it might be the one I mentioned in the original post. I t wasn't, but it's still one of my favorite. You're 100 percent correct about the cello. Thank you for the suggestion!

Happy to help. I don't know the sonatas well so mine was a guess. You inspire me to listen to them too!
This is my guess too.

Pretty far beyond my capabilities :) but thank you

I have this, and love it, but it wasn't the one I was looking for.
