Experience music making of the highest order as two of today’s foremost musicians play pivotal works of the violin-and-piano repertoire. With his Fourth Violin Sonata, Beethoven departs from earlier sonata forms that gave equal prominence to both instruments, instead giving the violin a virtuoso role. The piece is followed by Poulenc’s similarly dramatic Violin Sonata, dedicated to the memory of Spanish poet Federico García Lorca. The second half of the performance comprises Brahms’s songful First Violin Sonata and Bartók’s Hungarian folk–influenced Rhapsody No. 1 that boasts a dazzling and lively “fiddle” part.
