Violin Sonatas Op. 105 & Op. 121

Norwegian violinist Arvid Engegard and pianist Nils Anders Mortensen present Schumann’s Violin Sonatas Op. 105 and 121, and “Funf Stucke im Volkston” Op. 102. Schumann’s Violin Sonata Op. 105 was the first in the genre that the composer wrote. While he wasn’t necessarily pleased with the work, it was pleasantly received by audiences after its premiere by Clara Schumann and Ferdinand David in 1852, and remains a favorite of performers. His Violin Sonata Op. 121 was his second attempt at a vioin sonata, and was dedicated to violinist Ferdinand David. Norwegian musician Arvid Engegard performs worldwide as a violinist, a pianist, and a conductor. Engegard was educated in Norway, Austria, and in the US, and was strongly influenced by Sandor Vegh, director of “Camerata Academia” in Salzburg, where Arvid long served as soloist and concertmaster.
