This Sonata was written in Alma Ata during the painful years of the Second World War. Performed for the first time in 1943 by the flutist Charkovsky, “accompanied” on the piano by Sviatoslav Richter, the composer subsequently made a version for violin and piano, in collaboration with David Oistrakh.

di Onorio Zaralli Parleremo ora della dimensione emotiva “in concerto”. E’ una dimensione importantissima, al pari della tecnica strumentale e della conoscenza musicale del testo. Dirò di più: l’influenza che essa esercita sulla resa esecutiva è ancor più determinante proprio perché sfugge maggiormente al nostro controllo. Quante volte, con una buona forma fisica, una tecnica sicura, una buona conoscenza…
The pursuit of beautiful soundin our instrument passes, in addition to the taste of the performer and the fashions dictated by the great names of the moment, for the different ways of posing the moving parts that, between the instrument and the instrumentalist, play a decisive role in defining the timbre, i.e. the quality of the sounds produced.
