The
Violin Sonata No. 1 in E
minor, op. 73, a Grand
Sonata for Violin and
Piano, occupies an
important position in
Joachim Raff's oeuvre: it
reflects numerous
artistic, aesthetic,
biographical, and
reception-historical
aspects characteristic of
Raff. The work was
composed in Weimar in
1854, when Raff was going
through a process of
artistic self-discovery.
He increasingly distanced
himself from his mentor
Franz Liszt and
intensively explored
Wagner as well as the
ideal of absolute music -
this is also reflected in
the music of the sonata.
While Raff described the
first two movements as
objectified, he perceived
the last two movements as
a piece of him, that is,
not free of extra-musical
influences.The 1st
movement, with its
expansive main theme, is
reminiscent of
Mendelssohn; the 2nd
movement reveals the
refinement of
classical-romantic work
with musical material.
The 3rd movement, with
its partly rhythmic,
virtuoso accompanying
figures and harmonically
advanced passages, allows
a deeply romantic, almost
tormented insight into a
soul life a la Sturm und
Drang. The partly
irascible last movement
revisits already familiar
themes and thus creates a
musical framework.In

Composer
and conductor Eugene
Bozza (1905-1991) was a
pupil of Henri Busser and
Henri Rabaud at the
Conservatoire de Paris,
and received the first
Prix de Rome in 1934. It
was during his stay the
Villa Medici that he
wrote his Aria Pour
Saxophone Alto Et Piano ?
an adaptation of the
third movement of Johan
Sebastian Bach?s Organ
Pastorale in F Major BWV
590, which was to tour
the world. This
nostalgia-imbued melody,
which expands over a
regular meter, has, in
turn, been the subject of
numerous transcriptions,
first for clarinet, then
for Violin (or Flute) and
Piano. Editions Leduc
have chosen to republish
this last version, with
the added bonus of an
audio version that should
be of valuable assistance
to all musicians!.

The
Kreutzer Sonata was
originally dedicated not
to Rudolphe Kreutzer (who
never performed it) but
to George Bridgetower, a
famed 18th-century
Afro-European concert
violinist. In an early
draft, Beethoven jokingly
labeled the piece in
starkly racialized terms:
Sonata Mulattica composed
for the mulatto
Brischdauer, big wild
mulatto
composer.Beethoven and
Bridgetower performed the
premiere, which was by
all accounts a success,
and even featuring some
improvised embellishment
by the violinist. While
celebrating afterwards,
the two quarreled about
what Beethoven construed
as Bridgetower's insult
of a female acquaintance;
the composer then revoked
the original dedication,
adding Kreutzer's name
instead. The work gained
acclaim, while
Bridgetower's career
languished; he eventually
died in
poverty.Bridgetower has
been the subject of
considerable research and
speculation, most notably
in poet Rita Dove's book,
Sonata Mulattica. From
our 21st-century vantage,
considering Bridgetower's
unique circumstance, we
can only see him as an
ambiguous figure who, in
embodying difference,
provoked inspiration,
fantasy, desire, anger
and, finally, erasure.My
piece is a collection of
imaginings about George
Bridgetower. It is not
programmatic, but it
takes on an episodic
character, assembled from
contrasting fragments.
The dance rhythms,
recurring figures and
gestural contours are
intended to feature the
embodied expertise and
expressivity of the
performers, who at times
must access liminal
sounds and execute
complex synchronies. I am
grateful to Jenny Koh and
Shai Wosner for involving
me in their beautiful,
virtuosic
music-making.

EXCURSIONS
is a one-movement work
exploring two
“characters.â€
A rhapsodic, descending
passage is introduced by
the cello, followed by
a static,
chorale-like phrase for
the violin and cello.
Their individual
developments are
separated by a slow,
contrasting middle
section. The composer has
written: “This is
analogous to situations
in life: we stand by a
crossroad, choosing one
option and forfeiting the
other. But in art, the
realm of the imagination,
we can perhaps afford to
pursue more than one
route to its ultimate
destination… or can
we? It is symbolic that
in this work both roads
eventually lead to the
same
place.â€. Excursi
ons for violin, cello and
piano, is a one-movement
work of tripartite
structure in which
materials explored in the
first of three large
sections are brought back
in the last section.Â
The traditional
statement-contrast-restat
ement form, which is
readily suggested by such
a description, is,
however, not at all in
the mold in which the
work is cast. Rather,
my aim was to subject the
essential materials of
the piece (two
“charactersâ€
–the rhapsodic,
descending passage played
by the cello in the very
opening and, later, a
static, slow moving,
chorale-like phrase for
the violin and cello) to
two entirely different
developments separated by
a slow, contrasting
middle section. This
is analogous to an
exploration of the
ramifications that two
divergent choices made by
the same person might
lead to. In life, as
we stand by a crossroad,
choosing one option
usually means having to
forfeit the other.Â
But in art, the realm of
the imagination, we can
perhaps afford to pursue
more than one route to
its ultimate
destination…or can
we? It is, I believe,
symbolic that in this
work both roads
eventually lead to the
same place: in composing
Excursions, it seemed
absolutely inescapable
that at the end the slow,
contrasting middle
sections – both
more resigned and
peaceful than the
battling spirits of the
outer parts –
should return briefly to
end the work. The
piano trio combination
(once highly favored, but
to this composer still as
challenging today) is
approached here as a
collaborative effort of
three equal soloists
– partners. Of
the available pairings,
the two strings find
themselves occasionally
approached as a team
pitted against the
piano. The
cello-piano combination
is also not uncommon
here, and there is an
extended violin cadenza
toward the end of the
piece. The writing
for the three instruments
is closely and at times
interlinked, but the
players are all
instructed to play from
scores. Excursions was
first performed at
Brandeis University in
1982.
