Abstract:
The article presents four chamber violin sonatas for an instrument duo written in the 1970s and 1980s, which in their concept of form and shape combine the elements of the widely understood tradition with innovative means of composition technique. The subject for a closer analysis are the following works: • Witold Rudziński, Sonata pastorale per violino e piano forte, 1978 (PWM, Cracow 1983) • Sławomir Czarnecki, Sonate tragique für Violine und Klavier, 1982 (Tonos, Darmstadt 1988) • Jan Krenz, Sonatina for two violins, 1986 (Brevis, Poznań 1994) • Zbigniew Bargielski, Sonate für Violine und Klavier „The sonata of oblivion”,1987, autograph. Each sonata listed above renders an individual concept for combining paradigms adopted from the tradition (e.g. forms, use of quotation, expression idiom) with selected avant-garde means in sound technique, which mainly derives from the sonoristic trend. What Witold Rudziński’s Sonata pastorale per violino e piano forte draws from music tradition is the thematic character of musical thoughts, and in its sound sphere it introduces the means of mild sonoristic, maintaining a balance between them. Sławomir Czarnecki’s Sonate tragique für Violine und Klavier using the quotation from the sequence of Dies irae refers to the Late-Romantic expression to which it adds unusual methods of sound production and sonoristic middle episode. The function of these innovative means is to contrast it against dramatic expression of the piece’s outermost elements. The third discussed work, Sonatina for two violins by Jan Krenz corresponds with the neoclassical trend from the 20th century and brings out diverse elements of violin technique. It refers to the B-A-C-H sound symbol known from the past and to the variation form and combines them with more recent sound structures. The fourth composition, Sonate für Violine und Klavier by Zbigniew Bargielski, is the most innovative one in terms of its sound layer and formal concept. Its connection to the past is maintained thanks to a quotation from Chopin’s music transformed in an interesting way. The analysis of the sonatas leads to the following final conclusion: the tradition and the avant-garde in the discussed works from the postmodern period are not in opposition one against another in terms of style and aesthetics but they create complementary phenomena, in which the message drawn from tradition is given a new face.

Abstract:
Background. In recent years musicologists revealed an increasing interest in the problem of historical typology of F. Schubert’s composer style. In fact, scholars question possibility to characterize it as romantic, in their turn suggesting another interpretations and characteristics. For instance, M. Brown avoids usage of the term “Romantic” referring to F. Schubert, insisting on him being a part of a Classical tradition. In order to substantiate his viewpoint, the scholar appeals to harmony of the composer, where novelties, according to M. Brown, are not in fact innovations but incredibly skilful incarnation of Classical ideas. More moderate opinion on the discussed problem is stated by Ch. Rosen (2003). While acknowledging “revolutionary” nature of F. Schubert’s harmony, the scholar simultaneously points out a “special status” of the composer in musical art, a status not allowing to apply neither Classical, nor Romantic standards to the works of master. Consequently, as Ch. Rosen says, F. Schubert ended up being “in-between” Classical tradition and Romantic innovations. In his earlier study (1997) abovementioned author uses term “Postclassicism” referring to F. Schubert and other artists of his generation. A collision “F. Schubert – L. van Beethoven” is regarded both by Е.Badura-Skoda (2004) and J. Daverio (2002). The latter one tries to solve it while regarding it through prism of R. Schumann’s observation on this problem. Thus, it is obvious that reception of F. Schubert’s style as typologically ambiguous has a long-lasting history dating back to Romantic era. This intrigue can be found in researches of XX century as well. For example, phenomenon of style of F. Schubert’s chamber works has become a topic of P. Wolfius’ rumination, who defined it as “intermediate” (1974). Mentioned above works of the last third of XX century and beginning of XXI century prove relevance of the problem of historical typology of F. Schubert’s composer style for modern musicology. This calls for its further development through analytical studying of musical material while using historically-typological method of research. In the given aspect, special attention should be drawn to early works by composer, including four Violin sonatas. Objectives. The goal of this paper is to comprehend stylistic phenomenon of these works as a result of mixture of Classical experience gained by F. Schubert and first signs of his oncoming individual view on the essence of music and sound. Methods. In order to achieve this goal, the author of current work uses a periodization of F. Schubert’s chamber legacy, created by H. Gleason and W. Becker (1988) as well as models of “biography scenario”, revealed by N. Savytska (2010). According to the former one, Violin sonatas, written in 1816–1817, don’t belong to the “mature” works; at the same time according to the latter ones, due to F. Schubert’s style evolution being smooth and gradual its starting and finishing points have no radical discrepancies, that would be caused by the change of orientation of composer’s creative method, and as a result, in the early works one can discern some key features of the mature ones. It is relevant, among others, for the sonata genre, where composers first achievements, incidentally, were made in its violin type, preceding highly individual accomplishments of piano sonatas. This situation in the given article is explained as a result of a composer becoming more and more mature as a musician through his life, undoubtedly influenced by special features of this process. Results and discussion. Given that F. Schubert’s Violin sonatas are named differently by performers, publishers and scholars (op. 137 consists of three Sonatas or Sonatinas, op. 162 is also known as “Duo”), it was necessary to conduct a research basing on various sources (Holl, 1973; Vetter, 1953; Deutsch, 1978), in order to ensure righteousness of definition of all the pieces regarded as “sonata”. On the foreground of observation on F. Schubert’s understanding of the cycle it was possible to reveal composer’s loyalty to rules of his time. Sonata ор. 137 № 1 is composed as a classical three-movement model; subsequent ones, including op. 162, embody four-movement model, and that can be a reason to draw parallels between F. Schubert and L. van Beethoven. Individual steps of the journey of author’s self-identification as a composer are traced. Sonata ор. 137 № 1 is marked by frequent employment of variative development in the principal theme of the first movement, that causes its turning into digressive episode; inclusion of contrasting episode in the middle sections of Andante in Sonatas ор. 137 № 2–3 (that is not prescribed by chosen musical form) foreshadows tonal device, favoured by F. Schubert in his mature works – preference to Subdominant sphere over Dominant in four-movement cycle with tonal and dramaturgical highlighting of pair “lyricism – game” in middle movements (slow ones and Minuets); binarity of tonal centres in expositions and even recapitulations of sonata form being substituted by ternarity, that causes a whole section to be a principal unit of structure etc. Sonata op. 162 acquires significance of climax in F. Schubert’s ascent to self-identity in sonata genre. Its expanded structure, including gigantic development of the Finale, Minuet being substituted by Scherzo, parts of performers being completely equal in every respect allow to regard this work as first “Grand Sonata” in F. Schubert’s legacy. Moreover – experience gained by composer while creating it will be applied in cyclic composition for piano in mature period of creativity. Conclusions. In Conclusions analytical observations are summarized and generalized as well as levels of artistic structure of Violin sonatas, incarnating specifics of F. Schubert’s understanding of music as a composer of his historical time, are revealed.

Abstract:
Martino Bitti (1655/6–1743) was the leading violinist-composer working in Florence during a long period stretching from Corelli's first published works to the mature years of Vivaldi. Ironically, his nine sonatas for wind instruments are better known today than the 27 solo sonatas for his own instrument, the violin, which constitute a corpus of great technical accomplishment and musical expressiveness. Since the publication of a critical edition of Bitti's violin sonatas is currently in progress, the moment is right to present a thematic catalogue of his instrumental music, which forms the second part of the article. The first part comprises an updated biography of the composer (which for the first time proposes that Bitti briefly visited England) and a general evaluation of his highly distinctive musical style.

Abstract:
In the past decade the eighteenth-century London music publisher John Walsh has been subject to a new evaluation with regard to his pirated editions and deliberate misattributions, especially of the music of George Frideric Handel. That Walsh's attributions were anything but trustworthy had already been recognized in the eighteenth century: a surviving copy (London, British Library, BM g.74.d) of his first edition of the Sonates pour un traversiere un violon ou hautbois con basso continuo composées par G. F. Handel (c.1730), which, as Donald Burrows and Terence Best have shown, was provided with a title-page designed to simulate that of Jeanne Roger, bears the manuscript inscription ‘NB This is not Mr. Handel's’ in an eighteenth-century hand at the beginning of the tenth and twelfth sonatas, precisely those that Walsh removed in his second edition of this collection (c. 1731–2), advertised on the title-page as being ‘more Corect [sic] than the former Edition’. In the second edition Walsh substituted two equally questionable works in their place, each of which bears the handwritten inscription ‘Not Mr. Handel's Solo’ in a copy in the British Library (BM g.74.h). Two of the sonatas attributed to Handel in Walsh's Six Solos, Four for a German Flute and a Bass and Two for a Violin with a Thorough Bass … Composed by Mr Handel, Sigr Geminiani, Sigr Somis, Sigr Brivio (1730; in A minor and B minor) are also possibly spurious, while three of the four movements of the remaining sonata attributed to Handel in this collection (in E minor) are movements arranged from his other instrumental works. And in 1734 Johann Joachim Quantz, to whom Walsh devoted four volumes of solo sonatas (1730–44), complained of the publication of spurious and corrupted works:There has been printed in London and in Amsterdam under the name of the [present] author, but without his knowledge, 12 sonatas for the transverse flute and bass divided into two books. I am obliged to advertise to the public that only the first, second, fourth, fifth and sixth [sonatas] from the first book, and the first three from the second book, are his [Quantz's] compositions; and that he furthermore wrote them years ago, and besides they have, due to the negligence of the copyist or the printer, gross errors including the omission of entire bars, and that he does not sanction the printing of a collection that has no relationship with the present publication that he sets before the public.

Abstract:
This practice-led research investigates late nineteenth-century Romantic performing practice with special reference to the Brahms violin sonatas. It is conducted with the aim of understanding the composer’s expectations, which lie behind the notation on the score. In the nineteenth century, performers used to approach notation in a much more liberal and musically inspired way, whereas our current approach tends to be constrained by a reliance on literal accuracy (i.e. keeping note values, articulations, dynamics, and other performing instructions on the score very strictly) as representing ‘the composer’s intentions’. The nineteenth- and early twentieth-century treatises and early twentieth-century recordings confirm that portamento, vibrato, tempo rubato, tempo and rhythmic modifications, arpeggiation, and dislocation were expressive performing techniques often used by performers in the late nineteenth century. These interpretative elements are only partially notated or completely omitted from the score, which means performers consciously or unconsciously following a modern notion of ‘faithfulness to the score’ may not be able to discern the composer’s expectations as they exist behind the notation, especially in relation to Romantic repertoire. This research demonstrates how expressive performing techniques of the nineteenth century may be the subject of experiments and later internalised by a performer emerging from the modern tradition, and how this information may contribute to understanding hidden messages behind Brahms’s notation. The process behind this research involves exploring late nineteenth-century expressive resources more closely by imitating selected early twentieth-century recordings. Chapter One discusses the research context including research questions and methodology. Chapter Two contains extensive investigations into the nineteenth-century expressive resources such as portamento, vibrato, and tempo rubato based on early recordings. Chapter Three presents the application of the accumulated experiences and insights gained from practical experimentation with early recordings and other historical sources to Brahms’s Violin Sonatas, for which there are no relevant early recorded examples. This research is not intended to provide definite interpretative ideas in relation to the Brahms violin sonatas. It is ultimately conceived as an example of how modern performers might utilise historical knowledge, including ideas about how the composer’s expectations may be recognised, and also as an encouragement to engage with historical practices in a more varied, interesting, and creative modern context. This thesis includes two CDs containing my imitations of early recordings and independent interpretations of Brahms’s Violin Sonatas, which were produced as an indispensable part of this research.

Abstract:
Although Robert Schumann’s late style has been the subject of several probing studies in recent years, few scholars have concentrated their attention on the chamber works composed in the autumn of 1851. Perhaps most intriguing are the opp. 105 and 121 violin sonatas, whose first movements suggest a dialogue with the eighteenth-century sonata form by preserving many of the same rhetorical and structural elements. Throughout both movements, however, Schumann uses an intricate web of tonal ambiguities, metrical dissonances, and unusual key relationships to recast the internal workings of these outwardly conventional sonata forms. As he uses these techniques to undermine important structural moments of each movement, Schumann significantly changes the overall plot of the eighteenth-century sonata form, while also demonstrating his sensitivity to the dramatic possibilities of this historical form in the middle of the nineteenth century. By discussing Schumann’s dialogue with the eighteenth-century sonata form throughout the opp. 105 and 121 violin sonatas, this study attempts to situate these works within both their historical and contemporary musical contexts, and thus considers a previously unexplored avenue toward rehabilitating the reception of Schumann’s late chamber works.

Abstract:
Chapter 4 explores the different ways that Brahms organized each of his violin sonatas’ middle movement(s) so as to contribute to the overall narrative of that sonata as a whole. The G-major Sonata has a single middle movement. A letter that Brahms sent to Clara Schumann concerning that slow movement provides an opportunity to explore in more detail the relationship between this sonata and the death of Brahms’s godson at age 24. The A-major Sonata’s single middle movement combines a slow movement with a scherzo. The D-minor Sonata is the only one of Brahms’s violin sonatas to have two middle movements—a slow movement and an intermezzo.

Abstract:
Chapter 3 studies in detail the first movements of Brahms’s three violin sonatas. Each first movement is cast in sonata form—the most exalted structure of the Classical Era. But Brahms did not fill a “sonata-form mold” with formulaic music. Just like his great predecessors whose music he so dearly loved and esteemed, Brahms adapted the outer aspects of the form and the contents of each section to express that movement’s unique musical narrative. The discussions of each movement explore the traits they all share as well as their individual Romantic features. The A-major Sonata’s first movement also provides an opportunity to explore musical allusions to other pieces and how that might affect our interpretations—both as performers and analysts.

Abstract:
Chapter 5 is a detailed study of the final movements of Brahms’s three violin sonatas. How do the finales function as separate movements? How do the finales complete the musical narratives of each entire sonata? Concerning the G-major Sonata, the chapter explores how the finale wraps up the sonata-long narratives, and how the sonata as a whole relates to the death of Brahms’s godson Felix Schumann. Concerning the A-major Sonata, the analysis looks at the ways the last movement wraps up the sonata-long narratives of how the personas of the violinist and pianist interact. In the case of the D-minor Sonata, attention is on the ways that the final movement differs dramatically yet relates to the earlier movements in the sonata.

Chapter 1 discusses the balance of classicism and romanticism as artistic and expressive underpinnings of Brahms’s style. Brahms was in many ways a composer for whom the past—even the distant past—was still very much alive. Yet he was remarkably innovative. He often used Classical-Era forms, but he adapted them to his expressive ends. He used harmonic progressions identical to those used in similar circumstances by composers of the Classical Era, but also used harmonies as adventurously as Wagner or Liszt. In terms of texture and of rhythm and meter, he was, if anything, more adventurous than many of his contemporaries. The chapter offers a detailed analysis of harmony, dissonance, melody, melodic evolution, texture, rhythm and meter, counterpoint, and developing variation in a single Brahms phrase (from the second theme of the first movement of the A-major Violin Sonata, op. 100). Brahms’s phrase is compared to and differentiated from a similar phrase opening the second theme in Beethoven’s Violin Sonata in A, op. 30, no. 2.

Abstract:
This chapter studies six themes from Brahms’s violin sonatas, exploring many different ways that he crafts musical expression. Each theme demonstrates different aspects of Brahmsian compositional techniques, illustrating the infinitely varied ways he used harmony, texture, motivic evolution, and continuity in what has been described as “developing variation.” These discussions repeatedly show how a musical event that seems to be new (such as a surprising turn of harmony) quite frequently develops from something already heard, imparting the sensation that Brahms’s music is simultaneously drawing upon what has been heard and becoming something new. Awareness of these techniques prepares us for the later chapters, which focus on musical narratives that span entire movements or entire sonatas.

Abstract:
How it is that Brahms, a consummate pianist, also wrote so imaginatively and extensively for violin? Chapter 6 explores various events that took place in 1853, the year that Brahms turned 20, when he left Hamburg to concertize with a violinist-colleague, met Joseph Joachim and began his lifelong friendship with him, and met Robert and Clara Schumann. Studying the sole movement for violin and piano that still exists from Brahms’s early works—the Scherzo that he contributed to the “F.A.E. Sonata”—we can assess the degree to which his mature compositional vision was already in place at such an early age.

Abstract:
The lesson begins with information on Heinrich Ignaz Franz von Biber and the background to the Rosary sonatas. The author’s meditational approach is explained: musicians, like actors, must convince the audience by their simulation of faith. The engraving at the head of the sonata is fully discussed and there are thoughts on instrumentation and structure. The full biblical texts for the two Rosary sonatas discussed in the book are reproduced in Appendix IV. In the two lessons on Biber, the biblical and musical texts are constantly interwoven to suggest programmatic content, as if the narrative is recounted by the notes themselves, the rhetoric of the Gospel and Biber’s music fully aligned. Much in this approach is speculation, but the author believes that the clearer the performer’s vision, the more intense and meaningful will be the result. As usual, the “Observations” section is packed with suggestions and information based on many years of performing these unique works.

Abstract:
This article attempts to present sketches of the compositional creativity of Alexandr Boris Mulear (1922–1994), who is one of the most important figures of the music culture in the Republic of Moldova and belongs to the older generation of composers, as his glory years were between 1950 and 1980. The composer’s record contains a valuable artistic heritage that is appreciated by performers but the study of his works is not in the center of interest of musicologists yet. However, the article will present some examples of the Mulearian creativity. Analyzing the composition portfolio of A. Mulear, the author shows that chamber works predominate for the most part in his creativity, including suites, quartets, sonatas, miniatures and musical pieces, with a wide range of instrumental groups: from the duo (violin and piano, piano and voice) to the symphony orchestra. In conclusion, it is noted that the composer manifested himself in an original way in chamber music, which is more innovative and bright and reveals diverse forms of classical music in terms of style and genre.

Abstract:
The French composer Francis Poulenc had a profound admiration and empathy for the writings of the Spanish poet Federico García Lorca. That empathy was rooted in shared aspects of the artistic temperament of the two figures but was also undoubtedly reinforced by Poulenc’s fellow-feeling on a human level. As someone who wrestled with his own homosexuality and who kept his orientation and his relationships apart from his public persona, Poulenc would have felt an instinctive affinity for a figure who endured similar internal conflicts but who, especially in his later life and poetry, was more open about his sexuality. Lorca paid a heavy price for this refusal to dissimulate; his arrest in August 1936 and his assassination the following day, probably by Nationalist militia, was accompanied by taunts from his killers about his sexuality. Everything about the Spanish poet’s life, his artistic affinities, his personal predilections and even the relationship between these and his death made him someone to whom Poulenc would be naturally drawn and whose untimely demise he would feel keenly and might wish to commemorate musically. Starting with the death of both his parents while he was still in his teens, reinforced by the sudden loss in 1930 of an especially close friend, confidante and kindred spirit, and continuing throughout the remainder of his life with the periodic loss of close friends, companions and fellow-artists, Poulenc’s life was marked by a succession of bereavements. Significantly, many of the dedications that head up his compositions are ‘to the memory of’ the individual named. As Poulenc grew older, and the list of those whom he had outlived lengthened inexorably, his natural tendency towards the nostalgic and the elegiac fused with a growing sense of what might be termed a ‘survivor’s anguish’, part of which he sublimated into his musical works. It should therefore come as no surprise that, during the 1940s, and in fulfilment of a desire that he had felt since the poet’s death, he should turn to Lorca for inspiration and, in the process, attempt his own act of homage in two separate works: the Violin Sonata and the ‘Trois Chansons de Federico García Lorca’. This exposition attempts to unfold aspects of the two men’s aesthetic pre-occupations and to show how the parallels uncovered cast reciprocal light upon their respective approaches to the creative process. It also examines the network of enfolded associations, musical and autobiographical, which link Poulenc’s two compositions commemorating Lorca, not only to one another but also to a wider circle of the composer’s works, especially his cycle setting poems of Guillaume Apollinaire: ‘Calligrammes’. Composed a year after the ‘Trois Chansons de Federico García Lorca’, this intricately wrought collection of seven mélodies, which Poulenc saw as the culmination of an intensive phase in his activity in this genre, revisits some of ‘unheard voices’ and ‘unseen shadows’ enfolded in its predecessor. It may be viewed, in part, as an attempt to bring to fuller resolution the veiled but keenly-felt anguish invoked by these paradoxical properties.
