Holloway, R.: Violinsonate Op. 47 (1981)

Descrizione

Ausgabe für Violine solo. Schwierigkeitsgrad: schwer.This Violin Sonata, composed in August 1981, has four movements:l, after a brief rhetorical flourish setting out the principal intervallic shapes, develops them in a closely-argued sonata-allegro, vigorous and energetic with more lyrical interludes en route.ll, poco adagio is a set of double variations, the first theme slow and meditative, the second gently-flowing and wistful; the final variant of the first dissolves into a cadenza before closing in a dialogue-coda.Ill is an extended scherzo, light, airy and silly, twice interrupted by rude, robust episodes from some un-named opera buffa (with opera seria characters too); the second explodes in a quartet in amorous/acrimonious exchange over all four strings: and the entire structure yields two times to a (non-operatic) Trio, melodious and much slower.IV is entitled »Frage« – an impassioned asking of an impossible question – and »Antwort«, its graceful/gentle answer, in three strains growing gradually longer and calming into eventual repose on the entire piece’s central note (if not its literal key), B.Robin Holloway, 2016First performed by Ernst Kovacic in September 1981 at the Bruckner Festival, Linz.Komponist: Robin Holloway.Originaltitel: Sonata for Solo Violin.Format: geheftet, 24 Seiten.Spieldauer: 19′.Sprache: englisch.​Verlag: Boosey & Hawkes BH13416.Inhalt:III – VariationsIII – ScherzoIVHolloway, R.: Violinsonate Op. 47 (1981) – Violino solo
