Noa Wildschut - Brahms' First Violin Sonata

Noa Wildschut

Anyone who hears her play will not suspect that she will not be turning 23 until March. With her mature interpretations of the great violin concertos, the endearing star violinist Noa Wildschut regularly performs with top international orchestras. 'A miracle of musicality, original, spontaneous, always free', the Süddeutsche Zeitung recently wrote about her. This summer, she will come to Amsterdam without an orchestra and present an intimate chamber music program with clarinettist Pablo Barragán and pianist Frank Dupree. They combine sonatas by Brahms with playful trios by Bartók and Schoenfield.

Two sonatas by Johannes Brahms

The Swiss and Austrian mountain lakes and the associated natural landscapes around the Alps were an essential source of inspiration for Johannes Brahms. He composed his First Violin Sonata during a summer holiday at the Austrian Wörthersee in Carinthia in 1879. More than ten years later, Brahms completed his First Clarinet Sonata at his favourite summer residence in Ischl. Clarinetist Richard Mühlfeld was allowed to visit immediately to try out the new sonata.
