A programme of

Schuber:t Sonata for Violin and Piano in A major D574, ‘Grand Duo’.
Prokofiev: Violin Sonata No. 2 in D major Op. 94.
Brahms: Scherzo in C minor WoO2 from the F-A-E Sonata.

The ‘Grand Duo’ finds Schubert in cheerful, airy mood. Likewise, Prokofiev’s Sonata No. 2 is elegant and carefree, despite its wartime genesis. Finally, Brahms’s contribution to a sonata written with Schumann and his pupil Albert Dietrich fizzes with youthful zest.
