Francesca Dego and Alessio Bax
Live from Wigmore Hall, a pair of violin sonatas from the classical and romantic eras: Mozart's Violin Sonata in B flat, K454, and Brahms's Violin Sonata No 1 in G.
Italian violinist Francesca Dego is joined by her compatriot Alessio Bax, in a recital featuring Mozart鈥檚 Violin Sonata in B flat K454, written for violin virtuoso Regina Strinasacchi of Mantua for a concert in Vienna in 1784. At this premiere, although Mozart had the piano part securely in his head, he did not give himself enough time to write it out, and so he performed it with a sheet of blank music paper in front of him in order to fool the audience. This sonata is coupled with the autumnal nostalgia of Brahms' First Violin Sonata, inspired by a musical idea from one of Brahms鈥� own songs, 鈥楻egenlied鈥� (鈥楻ain Song鈥�) and consequently sometimes referred to as the 鈥楻ain Sonata鈥�.
