One of the most beautiful pieces that Schubert wrote was scored for a guitar-like instrument played with a bow. The instrument did not penetrate into the mainstream, but this masterpiece has endured and has become a staple of viola repertoire.

Clips from the movie “Barenboim on Beethoven”. The formative 3-year project of the @divanorchestra with @dbarenboim was one of the high points of my professional life. I was so fortunate to take part in it, and contribute to the movie about it. You can watch the entire movie on @medici.tv

Shortly after writing this sonata, Hindemith decided to devote himself to the viola, abandoning the violin, thus becoming one of the most important instrumentalist of his age, as well as a substantial contributor to the viola repertoire. This piece capture many of the viola’s charms and strenghts.

In spite of the fact that this sonata was originally composed for the clarinet and only later transcribed by Brahms for the viola, no other opening captures the beauty and richness of the viola sound. This movement embodies the core of Brahms’ music, the tension between inner passions, and outer poise.

With Ishay Shaer, piano.
