Sergei Prokofiev: Sonata in C Major for Two Violins, op. 56
Felix Mendelssohn: Piano Trio No. 2 in C Minor, op. 66
Ernst von Dohnányi: Piano Quintet No. 1 in C Minor, op. 1
 
Genius often reveals itself early — and boldly. Dohnányi’s Piano Quintet, written at 17 and praised by Brahms, brims with youthful ambition. Mendelssohn’s C Minor Trio shows that same prodigious spirit transformed into sweeping Romantic authority. Prokofiev’s brilliant Sonata for Two Violins opens the night with sharp wit and kinetic drive. An evening of fearless invention and blazing artistry.
