  • - Composer: Leoš Janáček (3 July 1854 -- 12 August 1928)
    - Performers: Jana Vlachová (violin), František Malý (piano)
    - Year of recording: 1996
    Sonata for Violin & Piano, JW 7/7, written in 1914-1915.
    00:00 - I. Con moto
    05:24 - II. Balada
    10:10 - III. Allegretto
    12:42 - IV. Adagio
    Janáček began writing his only mature violin sonata in 1914. He worked on it during the Great War, and gave it the final touches for its premiere only in 1922. It is a short and concentrated work, in the typical late style of the composer, based on short motives, swift changes of tempo, and intense emotional expression.
    The work has four movements:
    - The first, con moto, is passionate and lyrical. It opens with an intense ascending phrase of the solo violin, followed by a tense lyrical melody accompanied by piano tremolos. The development builds to an anguished climax that leads to the reprise.
    - The second movement, Ballade, con moto, is a warm melody based on a simple motive of folk flavor, supported by the piano's broken chords.
    - The third movement, Allegretto, is a very peculiar two-minute scherzo.
    - The finale, Adagio, opens and closes in desolation. The central section grows to a tense climax and then resignedly subsides into the opening material.

    What beautiful exquisite music! I was so lucky to hear a live performance of this in a friend's apartment in Syudney a few years ago. A real discovery.

    Janacek is faithful to his technique of compodition joining little cells, sometimes evoking sounds of the nataure. This makes this sontat one of the most original ones of the tonal repertoire, together with Débussy's and Bartok's.

    I am always confused by Janacek's music. It feels like an album of musical pictures. Some of those pictures are extremely evocative, maybe the most evocative music I know (I can visually imagine in detail the place that it describes), and some other ones just don't make any sense to me. I feel amazed and frustrated at the same time.

    Lovely piece, but did anyone else get the impression the key signature didn't really fit the notes for a few passages? And yes I know about chromaticism, tonicization, temporary changes, etc., but a few rather lengthy sections were implying a tonic not even in the key signature.

    • @martinogrosa2323
      @martinogrosa2323 8 лет назад +21

      Well, for example the first movement starts in A flat minor, which has got 7 flats in his key signature, but there are only five flats in the written key signature for pratical reasons: it is very difficult to remember to play an f-flat, or a c-flat, as they are enharmonically the same as e and b, so they are not present in the key signature, but you can find them right on the score, near each note when it is needed. It is not an uncommon technique, as you can also find it in Schubert's lied "Auf dem Wasser zu Singen".

      Explication lumineuse! L'important est qu'on entende bien ce que Janacek a écrit et qu'importe l'armature ou l'armure (car on dit les deux en français).

    • @gerardbegni2806
      @gerardbegni2806 7 лет назад +5

      You are right. Indeed, Janacek had a notion of tonality and tonal poles of his own, which is not the least of the attractiveness of his music.

      And in some later pieces.............our boi Janaček completely DITCHES THE KEY SIGNATURES AS IF HE FORGOT THEIR EXISTENCE!!!!! Bartok, Khachaturian and Poulenc also did this a lot.

      I can see why you think this version is academic. It is cooler and more relaxed than the Suk. But I could tell from the first 5 bars that I would hate the Suk version. His turgid, aggressive vibrato and sharp entrances are stunning. He plays as though he is angry. I could only get through the first movement in his version.

      The one mass he wrote wasn't populist, nor particularly popular _in its day_ so do you imply Janáček was trying to be so here? That doesn't chime at all with, for example, the frank fellow we meet in the letters to Kamila Stosslova.
