Dear all,
On Sunday 7th of October, we will be performing Robert Fuchs' second sonata for violin and piano in the Belgium town of Temse.
It is a very sunny, rhythmically joyful work, in which Fuchs has great fun with all kinds of polyphonic effects and echoes. Second movement, especially towards the end looks (and sounds!) a lot like Brahms on the page. Third movement is a rondo, quite "gemütlich" in style. All in all, we are having great fun in preparing the concert, and hope we can pass on our enthousiasm to the public. Also on the program : Beethoven's 8th sonata and Ravel sonata in G.

I notice also a Youtube performance (private/live, 2012) by Inna Kogan and Tobias Bigger. Alas the Thorofon complete set is now getting harder to acquire in the US. Enjoy and thanks!
