20th century violin works with piano

January 7, 2012 at 03:30 AM · Martinu? one of the sonatas, the elegy, or ?

Stravinsky? Dithyramb, sonata?

January 7, 2012 at 03:49 AM · Corigliano's Sonata for Violin and Piano? One of the century's great works, in my humble opinion.

January 7, 2012 at 05:19 AM · I'll tell you, but I'd like a citation:

Ervin Schulhoff wrote 2 violins sonatas.

Don't bother writing about Schulhoff, though, because I already did my dissertation on him.

January 7, 2012 at 06:49 PM · To be realistic about your choices, are you bringing your own pianist to an audition? Don't expect a staff accompanist to know, for instance, Bartok 2nd sonata.

January 8, 2012 at 12:52 AM · The Schulhoff sonatas are pretty freaking awesome.. as is his sonata for solo violin, which unfortunately you can't use.

V for violin

January 8, 2012 at 09:43 AM · There are a lot of works by Catalan composers you could research, such as Jordi Cervelló - Divertimento n.1.

Unfortunately these works are rarely played outside of Catalunya.

There are numerous British works you could also research as well.

January 9, 2012 at 12:28 AM · Viola is my second instrument and in the String Project I hope to join, I'll be working with my viola also. It was suggested I examine a similar list for viola, and this is what I've got so far, but my knowledge of the viola literature is far less:

Bartók, Béla: Slovak Peasant's Dance

Bloch, Ernest: Meditation and Processional

Bloch, Ernest: Suite Hebraique (Piano/Viola)

Britten, Benjamin: Reflection

Carter, Eliot: Elegy

Clarke, Rebecca: Passacaglia on an Old English Tune

Elgar, Edward: Chanson de Matin and Chanson de Nuit

Enescu, Georges: Concert Piece

Hindemith, Paul: Der Schwanendreher

Hindemith, Paul: Sonata (1939)

Husa, Karel: Poème

Kreisler, Fritz: Praeludium und Allegro

Montsalvatge, Xavier: Pregaria a Santiago

Part, Arvo: Spiegel Im Spiegel

Prokofiev, Sergei: 8 Pieces from Romeo and Juliet

Rota, Nino: Intermezzo

Shostakovich, Dmitri: Sonata for Viola and Piano

Takemitsu, Toru: A Bird Came Down the Walk

Vaughan Williams, Ralph: Romance

Zyman, Samuel: Sonata for Viola and Piano

Thanks so much for your help. You basically have to know everything as a DMA student, and I don't.

January 9, 2012 at 05:29 AM · Marie,

No, you don't have to know everything as a DMA student. In fact, your dissertation probably won't be read, so don't worry about content. The only thing that matters is your use of "that" vs "which" and that you follow the formatting instructions.

By the way, you need to add Hindemith to your list.

August 31, 2013 at 01:04 AM · I performed the York Bowen C minor sonata while at uni. I believe he wrote two sonatas. Some critic described them as impressionistic - if he thought that, they must have been poorly performed! The one we played is more like Stanford, only a bit more post-Wagnerian.

August 31, 2013 at 02:42 AM · Add Janacek sonata (1914)

April 13, 2016 at 11:26 AM · Check out this piece

April 13, 2016 at 11:58 AM · Philip Glass Chaconne

April 13, 2016 at 11:58 AM · Philip Glass Chaconne

April 13, 2016 at 01:43 PM · Karol Szymanowski Nocturne and Tarantelle op.28 is a great composition to play. I was written in 1915's.

April 13, 2016 at 03:30 PM · Schnittke: Suite in the Old Style

Like the Stravinsky Suite Italienne, it's too long (also about 15 minutes), but you could take individual pieces from the suite.

April 14, 2016 at 05:45 AM · If, as I understand your post, you're looking for something for violin and piano, this work: "Corigliano, John: Red Violin Caprices (1999)", which is for violin solo, presumably doesn't fit the requirement.

April 15, 2016 at 12:05 PM · Nielsen sonata no 2 (no 1 misses by 5 years)

Robert Simpson Sonata for violin and piano.

I think both of these should qualify
