The name of this musical form comes from the Italian word suonare meaning "to sound". In the past (17th century), a sonata was an instrumental piece for multiple voices and thus became the opposite of a vocal cantata.
This Soviet composer and pianist born in Sontsovka in 1891 is one of the best examples of the Soviet composition school. His work influenced later artists from his side such as Aram Khachaturian or Dmitri Kabalevsky.
On a warm June evening, the Lower Silesian Philharmonic in Jelenia Góra invited us to its original Concert Hall for music in grand style, featuring the music of two significant composers.

Sergius Prokofiev was a Russian composer who significantly influenced the development of 20th-century music. His work was exceptionally versatile and expressive, combining neoclassical elements with avant-garde compositional techniques. Sonata Op.80, part 1, is one of Prokofiev's most important works, reflecting his distinctive compositional style. This part, performed by David Oistrakh, is known for its exceptional technique and virtuosity, of which this outstanding violinist was a master. This composition was written during a difficult period for Prokofiev, who was forced to return to the Soviet Union during the Soviet repression of artists. Underpinned by drama and tension, this sonata is incredibly emotional and stunning. David Oistrakh, being one of the greatest violinists of his time, conveys in his performance the full power and intensity of this piece. His interpretation is full of passion, expression, and technical excellence. This sonata is often compared to other works by Prokofiev, providing us with insight into his creative evolution at various stages of his life. Op.80 offers us wonderful examples of the use of dissonance, intertwining motifs, and dramatic harmonic arrangements. Prokofiev was one of the most important composers of his era, and his influence is still present in today's music. This sonata is a perfect example of his compositional genius and the outstanding interpretation by David Oistrakh, who highlights the power and emotions of this piece. This unforgettable combination of talents makes this performance extraordinary and inspiring for all lovers of serious music.
