Allegro 06:08 3. Recitativo-Fantasia (Ben Moderato) 13:56 4. Allegretto Poco Mosso 20:56 The Sonata in A major, written by César Franck in 1886 as a wedding gift to violinist Eugène Ysaÿe, has become one of the pillars of the Romantic chamber repertoire. This work is a hymn to pure, sublime love and profound friendship. The sonata's four movements (Allegretto ben moderato, Allegro, Recitativo-Fantasia, Allegretto poco mosso) form a single cycle, held together by recurring themes. The music is striking in its sincerity, lyrical warmth, and architectural perfection. Franck's famous cyclic form, masterfully developed, allows the themes to flow from movement to movement, transforming and acquiring new meaning. The dialogue between violin and piano here is not a competition, but a profound, penetrating unity. The finale, where the main theme takes on a jubilant, almost ecstatic character, is one of the most luminous pages in the history of music.
