Sonatina in A minorFranz Schubert

Schubert Sonata in A Minor D385 – Patricia Kopatchinskaja & Fazıl Say

Schubert is best known for his songs, but he also wrote numerous pieces for the violin.

A sonatina is a work built on sonata form, but with a more concise musical structure than a full sonata.

Even so, despite its concision, the interplay is highly elaborate, giving a sense of quality that can surpass that of a sonata.

Violin Concerto in E majorJ.S.Bach

J.S.BACH VIOLIN CONCERTO IN E MAJOR BWV 1042-ILYA KALER , Violin

It begins with arpeggios in E major and gradually develops as it approaches the end.

In the development section, it’s upgraded as if it had about four different faces, unconstrained by the original tone of the piece.

In contrast, the second and third movements simply repeat the same theme, so compared to the first movement they feel somewhat monotonous.

Characterized by graceful, dreamlike sonorities, the work overflows with a bright, expansive atmosphere, befitting a piece written during a happy period in Brahms’s life.

Its gentle, supple melodies unfold to create a pleasing resonance that stirs rich emotions.

It is as if the natural, scenic surroundings in which it was composed are expressed through the music itself.
