DESCRIPTION:Hosted by Sharon Y.\nMusicians: Sharon Yung\n\nThe program open
 s with a nostalgic four-movement Violin Sonata by the iconic 20th century 
 French composer Gabriel Faure. The first movement carries an expansive son
 ority\, intertwined with dazzling octaves. The second movement has a senti
 mental timelessness followed by a capricious and jovial (scherzo-like) thi
 rd movement. The sonata then ends with a brisk and vibrant fourth movement
 .\n        \nThe first half of the program ends with Poeme\, a rare gem fr
 om the  mid-nineteenth century Bohemian composer Z. Fibich. It is truly an
  unpretentious and exquisite piece of violin literature.\n     \nThe secon
 d half of the program is drenched in the luscious imagery of yet another i
 nfluential Bohemian composer\, Antonin Dvorak. This sonatina has a youthfu
 l and potent character\, strongly evocative of the vigorous and charming s
 lavic dance rhythm.\n       \nE.Elgar Sospiri was written as a pair of wor
 ks with his signature miniature piece\, Salute D'amor. At the time of comp
 leting Sospiri\, the world had plunged into madness of the World War. Sosp
 iri\, tears of love\, carries a poignancy and significance far different f
 rom what Elgar had intended.\n	\nThe evening ends with Bohemian composer B
 .Smetana's My Homeland\, a set of two-movement work modelled after his orc
 hestral tone poems. The first movement is saturated with a charming and lu
 scious tonal language quintessential to late Romantic violin music. The se
 cond movement carries a gleaming slavic folk-tuned melody that culminates 
 into a dazzling coda in the finale.\n\nJoin me for an evening of violin mu
 sic in this cafe and wine bar in the heart of Park Slope that supports mus
 ic and art.
