Gade: Sonata No. 2 in D Minor, Op. 21 (arr. for flute & piano)

Description

From among Gade's plentiful oeuvre, Susanne Hoy-Draheim has chosen his second violin sonata for this edition. This work, dedicated to Schumann, faithfully reflects the style and formal understanding of its dedicatee.

"The arrangements for piano four-hands (1865) by August Horn, for cello and piano (1866) by Robert Wittmann, for flute and piano (1886) by Karl Müller, and for viola and piano (1895) by Heinrich Dessauer - some of them published by Breitkopf & Härtel during the composer's lifetime (and certainly with his approval) - bear witness to the popularity and widespread dissemination of the Sonata." (Susanne Hoy-Draheim)
