Bach), a leading figure of 20th century music (Béla Bartók) and a wonderful newly discovered work by influential Swiss violinist Hansheinz Schneeberger who died in 2019. The Schneeberger Sonata, written two years before Bartók's Sonata, is a violin show piece, displaying much imagination in it's idiomatic and virtoustic violin writing - this is the first recording of the work. There are many connections that link these three works together - the Bartók and Schneeberger sonatas show influences of Bach. Also, Bartók's First Violin Concerto was premièred by Schneeberger. On this album Smirnov plays a modern violin made by Philipp Bonhoeffer (Bartók and Schneeberger) and a 1795 Johann Schönfelder violin (Bach).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Sonata for Solo Violin, BB 124, Sz. 38~Tempo di ciaccona \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Sonata for Solo Violin, BB 124, Sz. 38~Fuga: Risoluto, non troppo vivo \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Sonata for Solo Violin, BB 124, Sz. 38~Melodia: Adagio \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Sonata for Solo Violin, BB 124, Sz. 38~Presto \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Violin Partita No. 2 in D minor, BWV 1004~Allemande \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Violin Partita No. 2 in D minor, BWV 1004~Courante \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Violin Partita No. 2 in D minor, BWV 1004~Sarabande \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Violin Partita No. 2 in D minor, BWV 1004~Gigue \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Violin Partita No. 2 in D minor, BWV 1004~Chaconne \u003cbr\u003e1.10 Sonata for Solo Violin~Introduzione (quasi cadenza): Adagio, rubato \u003cbr\u003e1.11 Sonata for Solo Violin~Allegro comodo e grazioso \u003cbr\u003e1.12 Sonata for Solo Violin~Finale: Allegro vivace, ma non troppo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAudio Sample:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n                                           \u003ci\u003eAll soundclips are provided by Tidal and are for illustrative purposes only.
