Product Description
A large-scale, cyclic composition, the Sonata for violin and piano in F major (2018) shares the overall structure of the Cello Sonata and the mostly lyrical mood of that work and of the Piano Trio, with additional melodic emphasis.
The impassioned first movement (Allegro) is in sonata form, with its universally proven esthetic principle, while the following wild "scherzo" (Presto appassionato), with harmonically varied reprises, alludes to Liszt's strange piece "Trübe Wolken" ("Grey Clouds") and, despite its frantic and dark mood, relies heavily on counterpoint, makes subtle use of a twelve tone row, and has a slow and humble central Trio. The Finale, preceded by an ample, almost improvisational, nostalgic slow introduction (Adagio molto e mesto), is a soothingly melodious rondo (Allegretto cantabile) with varied reprises, subtly transfiguring its coda imbued with loneliness. Total duration: 35 min.
The mp3 audio clip is a recording of the second movement. Performing Rights Organization: SOCAN.
