mimiko - Sonaten von Haydn und Prokofiew

This program will explore the sonata form, presenting two works written 150 years apart. It is very interesting to compare the similarities between the two works, which have many elements of the classical sonata form, but are developed in a very different language and in decidedly different proportions: Haydn's Sonata lasts just over ten minutes and Prokofiev's nearly half an hour. It is very interesting to introduce these two sonatas. Significantly for the composers, Haydn writes very dramatically by his standards, while Prokofiev (who dedicated this sonata to Svyatoslav Richter) concludes the cycle of his sonatas in a quiet manner with previously intense moments typical of his writing.
