Japanese
composer, Kishio Hirao
(1907-1953) first studied
medicine before changing
to music. His 1947 Sonata
for Violin and Piano is a
challenging yet exciting
addition to the
repertoire. Hirao moved
to Paris where he studied
harmony, counterpoint and
composition at the Ecole
Cesar Franck. The Sonata
is in three movements; 1)
Moderato-Allegro Agitato,
2) Andante, and 3)
Vivacissimo. The work is
in F major, with the
middle movement
modulating to D major,
however, tonality is
substantially exploited.
For all advanced
violinists and pianists,
Hirao's Sonata for Violin
and Piano is a riveting
addition to the
repertoire..
