César Franck: Violin and Piano Sonata in A Major  Kyung-Wha Chung  Kevin Kenner Violin: Kyung-Wha Chung (b. 1948) Piano: Kevin Kenner (b. 1963)César Franck's Violin and Piano Sonata in A major, composed in 1886 when César Franck was 63 years old, was a wedding gift for the 28-year-old violinist Eugène Ysaÿe. This piece is considered one of the greatest violin and piano sonatas of all time. It features a rich structural form, sweet and delicate melodies, varied tonal colors, dense chromatic passages, and an emotional intensity that is both passionate and tender, with inner joy and calmness, conveying a strong sense of introspection and mystery. The Sonata in A major is cyclic, with the thematic material of all four movements derived from a single original motif.The violin opens the adagio movement with a steady, intoxicating double-stop legato, subtly expressing the French melody "Je t'aime, je t'aime" in the first few measures. The alternating dialogue between the violin and piano creates a poetic image of passionate love. The second movement features dramatic conflicts typical of Romanticism, while the third movement includes a cadenza composed for Ysaÿe, depicting the pain of longing. The finale weaves together the essence of the first three movements with a beautiful folk melody.Some people have likened the four movements to the four stages of love: loving, knowing, missing, and finally, lovers being united. Later critics have evaluated this work as being comparable to Beethoven's and Brahms' most famous violin sonatas. There are multiple recordings of this violin sonata, all with brilliant interpretations, such as those by Kyung-Hee Zheng and Paul Tortelier, Itzhak Perlman and Martha Argerich, among others. Due to its popularity among performers and audiences, it was later arranged for cello and flute as well. César Franck (César Franck)César Franck (1822-1890), a renowned French composer and organist, was one of the representatives of the Romantic period. Franck was a late-blooming composer, and he established his position in French music history in the last five years of his life. Romain Rolland once gave him high praise: "There is no name more pure than this great and kind-hearted name; it is a brilliant and flawless soul."
