[@malgorzatabator-schreiber817]

Wow! What a breathtaking composition and interpretation!

[@RichardYu-wz1kt]

really nice piece!

[@pecator70]

What a unknown beauty...thank you so much for posting 🥰 For me this masterpiece comes directly next the Strauss and Respighi sonatas!

Marvelous ! Thank you for the introduction to the excellent chamber music of Philipp Scharwenka.

Truly significant. For me, a wonderful discovery from your (long admired) channel. Thank you much!

Now one of my favorite violin & piano sonata! And no one talks about the interpretation in the comments, but both artists are quite excellent: their phrasing is perfect, and this is not so easy to render with all those repeated notes.

What a delightful little gem! Thank you!

Stupenda e molto intensa grazie Maestro

[@SergioLOSOWICH]

Sounds fantastic! The subjects in the piano and when the violin does the imitation sound Marvelous. Good music and awesome musicians Thank you for another great video

[@MrMDH1986]

What a beautiful Sonata! Thank you very much for posting this! The beginning of the 2nd movement is reminiscent of 3rd mov.of Franck's Sonata...

[@maximaxoo]

Definitely reminiscent of Franck's Sonata, but you probably thing of the 3rd one ("Recitativo - Fantasia"), not the 2nd movement ("Allegro")

Philipp's chamber music is top level. Shame on whom keeps ignoring him

[@NovicebutPassionate]

He also composed a symphony and other orchestral music such as Dramatische Fantasie, Arkadische Suite, and Fruhlingswogen, not to mention his instructional piano music, thus, his great piano writing in this magnificent sonata.

[@pietrolandri6081]

@@NovicebutPassionate sure! His brother's music is also good but Philipp remains lesser known for reasons I can't understand

[@pietrolandri6081]

@@NovicebutPassionate .... However as a matter of fact his compositions are almost equally divided 1) before op 98 mostly solo piano, orchestral and concert jobs and songs (plus six, not unforgettable, miscellaneous chamber works) 2) As of op 98 and beyond all his chamber masterworks and a few (also great) piano solo, songs and orchestral works Apparently he waited his maturity to compose extensively for chamber ensemble

@@pietrolandri6081 Makes sense.. I think writing chamber music is not an easy task. In my opinion, It is even more difficult than writing a piano concerto or symphony.

[@pietrolandri6081]

@@natanaelmojica217 agree .... finding a suitable balance between 3 or 4 or 5 instruments in a way that all contribute individually but no one prevails and final music is not just summing up individuals but rather ONE music ..... requires mastery and craftmanship ....OK this is a duet, but ..... still .... is not a violin sonata with obbligato: it's a two peer instruments music

1:42 The same motive is used quite prominantely by Austin Wintory in his music for Assassin's Creed Syndicate ... It would be interesting to know if that's a coincidence. Even the rhythm is the same. 🤔
