Franck Violin Sonata - 4th movement

The marriage of violinist Eugène Ysaÿe and Louise Bourdeau in 1886 inspired Franck’s lone Violin Sonata. Like Franck, Ysaÿe (1858-1931) was born in Liège. A composer himself, he became a champion of the newest French music. (In addition to Franck’s Sonata, the Concerto and Poème by Chausson and Debussy’s String Quartet are dedicated to him.) Although 64 years old in 1886, Franck was still known primarily as an organist - at the important church St. Clotilde and the lavish public arts palace the Trocadéro, as well as professor of organ at the Conservatory. The recognition that he gained in the last years of his life, and then increasingly afterwards, was due in large part to the fervent missionary work of supporters such as Ysaÿe. The violinist played Franck’s Sonata many times on his wide-ranging tours, telling his listeners that he played it “con amore” since it was a wedding present.

Avec de telles origines, la puissance de ce mouvement devient fatale...Mais encore faut-il pouvoir l'interpréter et je retrouve là toute votre sensibilité alliée à votre force. dans un équilibre impressionnant qui ouvre les portes cachées de la mélodie, pour donner une vision dépassant le premier horizon. On ne voyage plus dans l'horizontalité mais dans l'élévation aérienne dans laquelle les poids s'effacent. Félicitations.
