The Allegro appassionato is dominated in its frame sections by a moment of rousing energy and rapturous sonority, which contrast with a nostalgic-sounding middle section.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eENESCU: His concert piece for viola and piano was written in 1906 for a competition. It is a lyrical rhapsody whose viola part, however, demands virtuoso skills from the player - Enescu himself had been a violinist (and pianist) prodigy. The one-movement work mixes elements of French impressionism with those of Romanian folklore.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eR. SCHUMANN: Schumann composed the two-part work for \"pianoforte and horn\", published in July 1849 as Adagio and Allegro op. 70 by Friedrich Kistner in Leipzig, but already there he left the option of a version with \"ad libitum violoncello or violin\" as an alternative.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCLARKE: Rebecca Clarke is today considered one of the most important British composers of the interwar period. Trained as a violinist and especially as a violist - she was a pupil of Lionel Tertis, the most important violist of his era - she was one of the first women to be appointed to a professional orchestra, the Queen's Hall Orchestra, which opened the \"Proms\" concert series. She submitted her three-movement Sonata for Viola and Piano, written in 1919, to the composition competition in Berkeley for the \"Coolidge International Prize\" and won second prize among a large number of competitors, although it was probably only the unusual circumstance that she was a woman that led to the first prize being awarded to the composer Ernest Bloch.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ars Produktion","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":49728068387096,"sku":"4260052386217","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/4346\/3192\/files\/4164062-2937100.jpg?v=1777735966","url":"https:\/\/hbdirect.com\/products\/bridge-clarke-enescu-schumann-bridges","provider":"HBDirect","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
