about

Mikuláš Schneider-Trnavský (1881-1958) was a Slovak composer, conductor and pedagogue. He was popular mostly because of his songs, some becoming traditional. His output focussed mainly on the Slovak heritage of folk songs, and on liturgical music. Trnavský did not compose much chamber music; his only truly important work in this field is the Sonata in G minor for Violin and Piano, Op. 12, of 1904. This composition reflects elements of the composer´s youthfully explosive personality: namely, wit, melodic invention, and a tendency towards lyrical idiom and meditativeness. The sonata has been recognized as one of the mainstays of Slovak classical chamber music.

Peter Machajdík (b. 1961) is a composer of chamber, orchestral, vocal and electro-acoustic music. His works, commonly described as emotive, imaginary and hypnotic, have been presented to audiences on five continents for over twenty five years and have been featured at festivals such as Inventionen in Berlin, New Work in Calgary, Early Music Festival in Boston, LakeComo Festival, Ostrava Days, Nuovi Spazi Musicali in Rome, Young Euro Classic in Berlin, Hörgänge at the Konzerthaus in Vienna, Bolzano Festival, Audio Art Festival in Cracow, Crusell Music Festival, Contrasts in Lviv, Melos-Ethos Festival, Odessa Dialogues, and the Bratislava Music Festival. He often takes simple materials and a simple mode of expression, and creates a vibrant and challenging sonic palette. www.machajdik.com

Antonín Dvořák (1841-1904) is one of the giants of the Czech national culture. The Sonata for Violin and Piano in F major, Op. 57 (B. 106) was composed between 3 and 17 March 1880. At that time, Dvořák was also working on his violin concerto, and it seems that the composer explored different aspects of the violin in the two pieces. The sonata is naturally the more intimate of the two works, and appears in places to be influenced by Johannes Brahms.
