I'm extremely fond of this sonata, and find it especially interesting Op.94 exists both for flute and violin. I think this should be more commonplace among composers, to score works like this so they can be played by more than one type of instrument.

I love how Prok can be so lovely and 'utterly demented' (as someone commented elsewhere) in the same piece

It kind of annoys me that it seems like there's no piano score for this piece with the actual flute part available on the internet, I have also never seen the piano score published with the flute part too... seems like everyone else is content with reading from the violin version...

This is not a sonata, nor is it music.
