Violinist Madeleine Mitchell, “one of the UK’s liveliest musical forces” (The Times, London) returns to San Francisco to perform Brahms and Beethoven with pianist Elektra Schmidt.
Beethoven: Violin Sonata No. 10 in G Major, Op. 96
Ludwig van Beethoven's Violin Sonata No. 10 in G Major, Op. 96, marks a pivotal moment in his career. Composed between 1812 and 1813, this sonata was written for the famed violinist Pierre Rode and dedicated to Beethoven's patron, Archduke Rudolph. As the last of his violin sonatas, it showcases Beethoven's evolution towards a more lyrical and introspective style, contrasting with the heroic and turbulent character of his middle period works.
Brahms: Violin Sonata No. 3 in D Minor, Op. 108
Johannes Brahms' Violin Sonata No. 3 in D Minor, Op. 108, stands as a testament to his mastery in the chamber music genre. Completed between 1886 and 1888, this sonata is the most dramatic and technically demanding of his three violin sonatas. It reflects Brahms' deep engagement with the emotional and structural possibilities of the sonata form.
