  • Strauss and Lavish Opulence
    Kristian Chong & Friends STRAUSS AND LAVISH OPULENCE LOCAL Monday 1 August 6pm, Salon HEROES Presented by Melbourne Recital Centre and Kristian Chong & Friends ARTISTS Natsuko Yoshimoto, violin Kristian Chong, piano PROGRAM JOHANNES BRAHMS (1833-1897) Sonata for violin & piano in A No.2, Op.100 I Allegro Amabile II Andante III Allegretto Gazioso MIRIAM HYDE (1913-2005) & NOREEN STOKES (1917-2012) Rhapsody for Left Hand SERGEI RACHMANINOFF (1873-1943) 13 Preludes, Op.32 X Lento XI Allegretto XII Allegro RICHARD STRAUSS (1864-1949) Sonata for violin & piano in E-flat, Op.18 I Allegro ma non troppo II Improvisation: Andante cantabile III Finale: Andante–Allegro ABOUT THE MUSIC Brahms’ Sonata Op.100 is characterised by gracious melodies. The score is marked with the composer’s constant reminders: dolce (sweet), tenerament (tenderly), espressivo (expressive), and sempre dolce (always sweet). More importantly, the tempo indication for the first movement identifies the primary mood Brahms wished to project: Allegro amabile (lively and fast, with love). The middle movement alternates between the serene Andante (moving) written in F Major with duple metre and the folk-like Vivace (very lively) written in D minor with triple metre. The finale, Allegretto grazioso (a little lively and graceful), is a rondo suggesting a gentle mood; the violin has the stirring main theme, which stays entirely on the G-string, exhibiting a quality of self-assurance as it dominates and carries the glorious music to a close. Rhapsody for Left Hand was written for Kristian Chong in a joint effort by his first teacher, Noreen Stokes and her friend, Australian composer Miriam Hyde.
