Composition History
Cesar Franck's Sonata for violin and piano was presented as a wedding gift to the great Belgian violinist Eugene Ysaye on September 26, 1886.
Compositional Technique
The first movement of Cesar Franck's Violin Sonata, Allegro ben moderato, is marked 'amoroso et vibrato,' creating an atmosphere that leads to the passionate explosion of the following Allegro.
Compositional Technique
The introduction of the Recitativo-Fantasia in Cesar Franck's Violin Sonata features a piano introduction comparable to an orchestral quartet, setting the stage for the violin solo.
Compositional Technique
Cesar Franck's Prelude, Choral et Fugue concludes with a bold layering of arpeggios from the prelude and themes from the chorale and fugue, culminating in a brilliant peroration.
Composer Biography
Cesar Franck's artistic style became significantly richer and deeper after he composed his Variations, Symphony, and Sonata.
Composer's Artistic Vision
The triptych form and ternary structures in Cesar Franck's Prelude, Choral et Fugue may represent the Holy Trinity and a progression towards Light.
