Arnaud Sussmann took time out of his Music@Menlo schedule to stop by the Strings studio this summer. Watch the violinist perform Sergei Prokofiev’s Violin Sonata in D major, Op. 115.
Gorgeous playing! Thank you. I am studying the variation movement under tempo and listen to you for inspiration. I am retraining to play left-handed. (Yes, my violin has been rebuilt.) I thought this piece would be impossible (Initially anything outside of A or D major seemed impossible!). Little-by-little, step-by-step it's coming into being. It is a joy to spend lots of time with this fanciful piece with such intriguing harmonies. Merci beaucoup.
