Piano and Violin
HOUGH it be a confession of personal limitations, I must say that orchestral music does sometimes present the mind with a hopeless welter .of sound in which one can no longer distinguish individual beauties. That is why I like the single instrument, two playing together-or, in the larger work a dominant theme led by one allied group of instruments. I was deeply satisfied, for example, by the Brahms Sonata No, 1 in G, Opus 78, played by Vincent .Aspey (violin) and Ernest Jenner (piano) over 3YC. I was interested in’ the "way the. violin extended a new voice to man, giving him with its tremolo the depth of a woman’s tenderness, together with unusual strength. When the two strings were used together once or twice one gained the impression of a deep and surging passion. At other times, through both instruments, hearts that were happy
danced and effervesced. |
