Klassik Festival Arosa im Bergkirchli
In the concert as part of the Arosa Klassik Festival at the Bergkirchli, Simone Roggen and Karolina Öhman dedicate an evening to the versatile repertoire for violin and cello.
Johann Sebastian Bach composed the 15 two-part Inventions for a keyboard instrument in 1723. These linear two-part, relatively short musical inventions can be beautifully performed with violin and cello.
Reinhold Glière's Eight Duets for Violin and Cello, Op. 39 (1909), are light yet substantial duos that place significant demands on both instruments and lead the listener through short phrases filled with passion, mystery, and humor.
Maurice Ravel composed perhaps the most significant work for violin and cello. It bears the dedication “A la mémoire de Claude Debussy.” The sonata was premiered on April 6, 1922, in Paris. Critics accused Ravel after the performance of committing a “massacre” on the soloists. However, like other works by Ravel, the sonata eventually gained acceptance after initial rejection and soon became frequently performed, enjoying great popularity among both musicians and listeners today.
