About

Although little known, the literature for two violins has an ancient history, that on one side refers to the educational purpose of playing together and reciprocally listening to each other, and on the other side refers to the folk tradition.

The compositions of this album truly move within all these different perspectives: they are in part folk music pieces, in part pieces with a didactic aim, but above all they are dialogues with a high chamber music value. Bartók and Prokofiev, with the Forty-four Duets and the Sonata for two violins, gifted us with two cornerstones of the literature for these instruments in the narrow space of two years, 1931 and 1932, opening this repertoire to new textures and new languages.
