Sonate pour Violon et Piano

Japanese composer, Kishio Hirao (1907-1953) first studied medicine before changing to music. His 1947 Sonate for Violin and Piano is a challenging yet exciting addition to the repertoire.

Hirao moved to Paris where he studied harmony, counterpoint and composition at the Ecole César Franck. The Sonate is in three movements; 1) Moderato-Allegro Agitato, 2) Andante, and 3) Vivacissimo. The work is in F major, with the middle movement modulating to D major, however, tonality is substantially exploited. For all advanced violinists andpianists, Hirao’s Sonate for Violin and Piano is a riveting addition to the repertoire.
