Music for Violin & Piano

[caostotale]

Dedicated to MBallan, alfor, and everyone else who has supersaturated my life with great Soviet-era musics over these past few years. You've converted me and I hope I can do my part to unearth more of this great work....

Thank you very much! An interesting composer! Excellent piano style, but less complicated and more late-romantic than Feinberg, Protopopov and the like.

I just updated the Wikipedia article for Fere (though I didn't go over all of the choral and orchestral pieces yet). The bulk of his work from 1930-1975 looks to be completely in the socialist realist vein. I'm very curious to look closer into the two works we've uncovered, as both of those precede 1930. The resource I found places the piano sonata in 1928.

Vladimir Fere (1902-1971) was a Russian-born composer who studied at the Moscow conservatory before moving to the Kirghiz Republic as part of the state initiative to incorporate that country's folk culture into Soviet art. There, he worked on many collaborative musical projects with composer Vladimir Vlasov and the native Kirghiz composer Abdylas Maldybaev. Their output included six state operas. As an individual composer, it would appear that Fere had a number of his own works. This early work is from his student years (as is a piano suite marked Op./Soch. 6), but I've acquired a later cello/piano work marked Soch. 46 (which I will be posting at some point) and have read about a 113-page string quartet based on Kirghiz themes, soch. 27. Additionally, Alfor posted a copy of his piano sonata (unspecified opus #) at some point. If anybody could find any of his uncollected works, especially the chamber pieces, I would be hugely grateful.

Thank you so much! This is very interesting. I am also very much looking forward the to work for cello and piano. Cheers!!

After two early sonatas for violin/piano, many years and many compositions passed before Milhaud presented this excellent work for harpsichord and violin, probably one of my favorites of his.

I just got the Brilliant Classics 2 CD set of Gernsheim violin sonatas and would love to listen with the scores. I see the 2nd and 4th sonatas are circulating, but does anyone have the 1st and 3rd? That would be wonderful!
