"Kreutzer" or R.Strauss Sonata for Violin & Piano
on: March 01, 2004, 08:12:01 PM
This is a "Pianist Wanted" ad. of sort...

Any pianist in the greater Boston area who can play either Beethoven's "Kreutzer" Sonata or R. Strauss' Sonata for Violin and Piano?

A violinist friend (enthusiastic amateur, not professional concert artist) is hoping to take either Sonata on stage on April 24th in the afternoon but just found out his regular piano partner cannot make it that afternoon.

Just trying to see if we can get another pianist to fill the spot. Feel free to reply or send private message if interested.

Thanks.

The Kreutzer is pretty difficult, however the Strauss is probably the most difficult piano accompaniment out there.

Your friend should post ads at the music schools in Boston - NEC, Boston Univ., Boston Conservatory.

It seems we might actually get some one from the NEC for Kreutzer.  ;D

Unless one happens to be working on it for a while or has performed it recently, it's definitely hard to get a piece like this ready in such short notice.
