First of at least two sonatas (Sonata op.10; sonata quasi fantasia op.177) by Foerster. There is a 2-CD set of his violin music including several other works (Ballade, Impromptus, another Fantasia (Op.128), Prinzessin Gänseblümchen suite, Zbiroh suite (for viola, arranged)...) as well (very, very easily found via Google, elsewhere...)

AMG (or their source!) is mistaken and includes the final movement of the sonata in the next work, the Princess suite.
