Fiddle Sonata for violin and piano composed by Mark O’Connor was a commission from the Library Of Congress in Washington D.C. It was premiered in Jefferson Hall during the Library’s prestigious ‘97-’98 chamber music season. The Library was featuring piano in the year’s programming and requested O’Connor compose utilizing the instrument. The premier was broadcast on NPR’s "Performance Today" and was also the centerpiece for a nationally broadcast public radio special, "America’s Fiddler, Mark O’Connor at the Library Of Congress". Although O’Connor did not utilize the piano as a back-up instrument in his childhood fiddling contests, it does have a tradition accompanying fiddlers in Scotland, Shetland and Canada. The "Sonata" begins with "Introduction" and features a melodic and romantic theme with beautiful chords. "Hoedown", in D minor, is very lively and tuneful. The "Waltz" is a lovely theme that undergoes some insightful development. The finale, "Gigue", is a 6/8 dance which is quite a romp and features some fast bow work on a very catchy tune. The music is well suited for advanced and intermediate students.
Original music printed from the composer’s manuscripts.
