Duo for Violin and Piano is cast in the form of a single, continuously evolving movement, whose musical ideas move from an urgent, hushed blur of whirring sound to a buoyant and optimistic lyrical theme, stated by the violin over syncopated chordal figures in the piano. The melodic shapes of these episodes are transformed in various moods and tempi throughout the composition.

Among Vienna’s many composers and pianists of the time, Anton Eberl (1765–1807) was the one considered most worthy of comparison with Beethoven. His Sonata in B flat major, Op.35, his last of seven sonatas with violin, was composed around 1805 and dedicated to Maria Walburga, the Princess Bretzenheim. This was one Eberl’s last works, as he died prematurely, at the age of forty-one, in 1807. Unlike many of Eberl’s lesser contemporaries, in its duration, formal and harmonic novelty, and in the lively relationship between the violin and keyboard, his Op.35 shares much of the musical ambition and quality of Beethoven’s works in this genre.

The model for this sonata is Mozart, specifically his Sonata in B flat major, K.454, written in 1784. Eberl borrows many structural and stylistic features from K.454: the grand, slow introduction of the first movement; the song-like second movement opening over rocking accompaniment; and the gavotte-like closing rondo. Eberl even quotes directly from K.454. But the work also looks forward to Beethoven’s contributions to the genre, and in its duration, formal and harmonic novelty, and in the lively relationship between the violin and keyboard, Op.50 shares much of the musical ambition and quality of Beethoven’s early works in this genre.

Duo-Sonata for violin and piano was written between September and October of 2010. It is made up of three movements, each of which has unique characteristics. The first, Allegro appassionato, is monothematic, although the theme itself is presented in several ways. Following a vigorous start featuring violin cadenza, the movement is developed with a lively feel, alternating lyrical fragments with other energetic ones. Its conclusion is resounding.

Meanwhile, the second movement, Quasi un lamento, is introspective and fragile. A long melody is sustained by a delicate and transparent piano accompaniment, evoking once again the theme of the first movement and concluding with a Lento of descending piano harmonies while the violin follows, in octaves, with heartfelt glissando.

The third movement, Scherzando-Allegro, is a light-hearted game between the piano and the violin. The main theme is repeated once again, this time with a binary time signature. The violin uses ricochet (the rebounding of notes in a bow stroke), as well as natural and artificial harmonies in quick time. The piano part unfolds completely naturally, excluding any gratuitous artifice.
