Description: Darius Milhaud’s Sonata for Two Violins and Piano, Op. 15, composed in 1914, is an early yet striking example of the French composer’s distinctive style, blending classical form with subtle harmonic daring. Written during his early years as part of the avant-garde circle in Paris, the work unfolds in three movements, each showcasing his skill in counterpoint, rhythmic vitality, and a unique sensitivity to instrumental color. The two violin parts are treated equally, often intertwining in conversation or pursuing independent paths, while the piano provides both harmonic grounding and vibrant interplay. Despite its relatively modest scale, the sonata reveals hints of an emerging polytonal language and Mediterranean lyricism. Reprint edition.
