The
great violinist Yehudi
Menuhin commissioned
Bartok for a new work,
and Bartok responded with
the Sonate. When first
Menuhin saw the work, he
deemed it unplayable!
Upon further inspection,
the composition began to
make sense, and Menuhin
would ultimately hail it
as the most important
composition for violin
alone since Bach.
Similarly, Dejour -
captivated by the Sonate
- would have grave doubts
about transcribing such a
virtuosic masterpiece for
violin for his own
instrument, the guitar.
He, too, came to realize
that the Sonate could
well transfer to the
guitar, with its chord
progressions,
contrapuntal motion, and
more. While still
demanding of virtuosity,
the Sonate is now
available as a
masterpiece for
guitar.
