Felix & Fanny Mendelssohn: Music For Violin And Piano S
In Music for Violin and Piano sibling dialogue becomes a curatorial principle: Felix and Fanny Mendelssohn are paired not as anecdote, but as converging languages and as the complicity their correspondence records. Alongside an original page by Fanny such as the Adagio H 72, the programme moves through the poetics of the Songs without Words in arrangements that turn them into chamber theatre: Kreisler, Hermann, Eggericx and Menuhin transfer pianistic writing to the violin, preserving its miniature finesse. Between originals and refractions, melodic thought shifts its viewpoint: the piano becomes memory, the violin voice. The famous Scherzo from A midsummer nights dream opens the stage between light and shadow/ the Sonata in F major MWV Q 26 closes with a broader formal breath, as a return to the source.
