Spring sonata, Autumn sonata - Otmar Mácha

9. duben 2004

Spring sonata for violin and piano by Otmar Mácha was written in 1948. It has three parts. Allegro con gravita, Larghetto sostenuto, and Allegro molto. The author attempts to achieve pregnant, simple, and expressively efficient composition at both instruments here. The sonata was for the first time presented by Marie Hlouňová and Jan Panenka at Umělecká beseda. There is also a recording available with their interpretation of this piece.

The Autumn sonata for violin and piano was written by O. Mácha for Jaroslav Kolář and violin player Nora Grumlíková in 1987. As the author says: "Professor Jaroslav Kolář a great credit of performing musical pieces for violin and piano". O. Mácha reworked the first part according to his proposal. The end of the sonata contains a sort of living proposal and it sounds very tragically. The premiere of this musical piece took place in Dům umělců (House of Artists) on September 23, 1987.
