This concert offers a captivating musical exploration, highlighting the evolution of violin language through three emblematic works.

It will begin with Bach's Sonata No. 1 in G minor, composed in 1720. This masterful piece illustrates Bach's intellectual virtuosity, offering exceptional emotional depth and technical complexity.

It will continue with Sonata No. 1 in G minor by Eugène Ysaÿe, written in 1923. Inspired by the works of Bach, Ysaÿe incorporates a modern style, mixing polyphony, chromaticism and virtuoso techniques, while paying homage to the Baroque tradition.

Finally, the concert will conclude with Béla Bartók's Sonata for Solo Violin, composed in 1944. This daring work, influenced by Hungarian folklore, has a four-movement structure, including a complex central fugue, exploring raw and intense expressive territories.

These three sonatas, although composed at different times, share a common quest: to transcend the limits of the instrument and offer a profound and unforgettable musical experience.
