Gabriel Pierné - Violin Sonata in D minor, Op. 36

[@timphillips1589]

The idea that this piece could be the inspiration for Vinteuil's sonata in "A la Recherche du Temps Perdu" is very appealing, but I can't believe that Proust would have had just one model in mind: like the writer Bergotte and the painter Elstir, Vinteuil is probably a composite creation, suggested by several originals. Whatever the truth of the matter, this sonata is a remarkable and attractive piece of music, which deserves to be much better known.
