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.
Meanwh
ile, 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.
