Editorial Reviews The Robert Frost poem of Dance and Secret is "The Secret Sits" "We dance round in a ring and suppose, But the Secret sits in the middle and knows." ARTUR SCHNABEL wrote this Sonata (originally entitled Five Movements in the Form of a Suite) in the summer of 1919. It was first performed by Carl Flesch in November 1920 in Berlin. The third movement was printed as part of the supplement to the second volume of Flesch's Art of Violin Playing. Milton Babbitt speaks of a private performance in New York in the late forties at which both this Sonata, and the Solo Cello Sonata of 1931 were performed. Other than that—silence. Of course there must have been the odd performance here and there but general knowledge of, interest in, curiosity about on the part of violinists specifically, or the musical public in general?
Album Description
ARTUR SCHNABEL (1882-1951) wrote his Dance and Secret & Joy and Peace in 1944. In the chronology of Schnabel's compositions these two works for chorus and orchestra follow directly after Symphony No. 2 (CP2104). The genesis of these choral works, and the impetus which gave rise to them, is best described by quotations from three Schnabel letters, written from Gascon Ranch, New Mexico, and addressed to Mary Virginia Foreman. Some introductory comments are, however, in order.
