FinaleSo Jin KimFranciso VilaHannah YiPROGRAM NOTESMozart's Sonata No. 1 in C major, K. 279, marks the beginning of his remarkable journey through the world of piano sonatas. Composed in 1774, when Mozart was just 18 years old, this work is a testament to his prodigious talent and an early indication of the genius that would follow. Allegro, the opening movement, sets the tone for the entire sonata. It begins with a bright and lively theme that dances effortlessly between the right and left hands. Mozart's trademark elegance and grace are evident throughout, as he weaves intricate melodic lines with playful, ornamented phrases. The movement is marked by its sunny disposition and moments of serene lyricism, showcasing Mozart's mastery of classical form. The second movement, Andante, transports us to a world of lyrical introspection. It's a beautifully melodic and intimate interlude, marked by its simplicity and emotional depth. Here, Mozart demonstrates his ability to evoke profound emotions with the most minimal means, using delicate phrasing and expressive harmonies. The final movement, marked Allegro, returns to the spirited character of the first movement. It is a delightful rondo, characterized by its recurring theme and contrasting episodes. Mozart's playful brilliance is on full display as he weaves intricate variations on the central theme, showcasing both his technical virtuosity and his gift for creating music that delights the heart and mind.Fantasiestücke Op. 73 by Robert Schumann is aptly named, as it invites the listener into a series of fantastical and introspective musical landscapes. It was originally composed for clarinet and piano but frequently performed with cello, showcases the composer's exceptional gift for creating emotionally charged and vividly expressive music. This collection of pieces, composed in 1849, transports listeners into a world of imagination, passion, and introspection through the dialogue between the piano and cello. "Fantasiestücke" consists of three contrasting pieces, each with its own character and mood:Zart und mit Ausdruck (Tender and with Expression)"Des Abends" (In the Evening)"Aufschwung" (Soaring)Lebhaft, leicht (Lively, Light)"Warum?" (Why?)"Grillen" (Whims)"In der Nacht" (In the Night)Rasch und mit Feuer (Quick and with Fire)"Fabel" (Fable)"Traumes Wirren" (Dream's Confusion)"Ende vom Lied" (End of the Song)Max Bruch's "Kol Nidrei" is a profoundly moving composition that exemplifies the Romantic era's exploration of deeply emotional and evocative musical themes. Composed in 1880, it draws its inspiration from the Jewish Yom Kippur prayer known as "Kol Nidrei," a solemn and contemplative chant that sets the tone for the holiest day in the Jewish calendar. It is a single-movement work for cello and piano. It is based on two main themes: the solemn, yearning prayer melody from "Kol Nidrei" and a contrasting, more agitated theme. Bruch skillfully weaves these themes together to create a piece of profound beauty and emotional depth.Felix Mendelssohn’s Piano Trio No. 1 in D minor, Op. 49, stands as a shining example of his musical genius. Composed in 1839, it is a work of remarkable beauty and emotional depth. It follows the traditional four-movement structure:PROGRAM NOTESMolto allegro ed agitatoThe trio begins with an exuberant and dramatic movement, characterized by its fiery passion and youthful energy. The piano and strings engage in lively dialogues, introducing the main thematic material.Andante con moto tranquilloThe second movement is a lyrical and serene interlude, offering a contrast to the preceding excitement. The cello introduces a heartfelt melody, which is later passed between the piano and violin. This movement exudes a sense of introspection and poetic lyricism.Scherzo: Leggiero e vivaceMendelssohn's signature scherzo is a delightful and playful dance. It features a nimble and sprightly melody, punctuated by light and intricate piano accompaniment. This scherzo provides a joyful and lively contrast to the more contemplative second movement.Finale: Allegro assai appassionatoThe final movement returns to the passionate intensity of the opening. It is marked by its rousing themes, virtuosic piano passages, and vigorous string writing. The movement builds to a triumphant conclusion, bringing the trio to a thrilling end.PROGRAM NOTESABOUT THE ARTISTSHANNAH YI is an active chamber musician, concert pianist, and piano pedagogue in Southern California.
