Sonata for Violin and piano

 

In his Violin Sonata, the internationally renowned Turkish pianist Fazıl Say combines the classical western form with folk music elements of his home country, spiced with jazz-like intensified rhythms. Comparable to Piazzolla’s popular pieces, this is world music in the truest sense of the word – worthwhile and rewarding for concerts and competitions.

 

I Introduction: Melancholy. Andante misterioso

IV Anonymous. Andante
V Epilogue: Melancholy. Andante misterioso
