This rich and substantial sonata shows d'Indy's meticulous craftsmanship and innovative harmonic language. The work unfolds with a sense of architectural integrity, marked by its four movements, each possessing distinctive character and emotion. Rooted in late-Romantic language, the sonata bears traces of his fascination with folk music and modal scales. The first movement, marked by its assertive motifs, leads into a lyrical and introspective second movement. The third movement introduces rhythmic vitality and dance-like elements, while the final movement builds to a triumphant conclusion. D'Indy's harmonic complexity, coupled with a mastery of form, renders the Sonata a significant contribution to the piano repertoire. It stands as a testament to d'Indy's artistic value, blending tradition with innovation. Albéric Magnard (1865-1914) was a pupil of Massenet, Dubois and, above all, Vincent d'Indy himself, to whom he was deeply attached throughout his life. His seven Promenades op. 7, composed in 1893 as a kind of intimate diary describing 6 French towns, are evocative and charming character pieces, with hints of Franck and Debussy. Sofia Andreoli is a young Italian pianist with a passion for discovering neglected composers. As a student of Mattia Ometto, she builds a busy solo career, as well as playing chamber music in different formations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41498050625633,"sku":"5029365102551","price":14.21,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/products\/orig_11905418_949286.jpg?v=1709768461","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/5029365102551-dindy-magnard-piano-sonata-promenades","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
