Ysaÿe: “Obsession” Sonata for Solo Violin, Op. 27, No. 2 (Prelude)
This amazing movement quotes directly from Bach’s E Major Partita No. 3 and infuses that with the “Dies Irae” Mass for the Dead plainchant. There’s so much visceral energy that’s needed; one needs to immediately switch back and forth between the sweetness and elegance of Bach, to sudden demonic virtuosity.
Recorded on December 3rd, 2019 in the Arcade of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra by Todd Rosenberg.

TwoSet tried to get in, but were told to practice more. I challenged two Curtis students to a Sightreading Duel (where you lose your fingers). As usual, my pride could not allow me to not try my hardest. No prodigies will ever defeat me.
