- Description
- Series Description
- This series includes ten one-hour episodes of sonatas and other significant works for violin and piano with both instruments treated equally as part of an ensemble work. Normally, each episode includes two works with a total playing time of between forty and fifty minutes. The balance of the episode is taken up with explanation and commentary. Joseph Fuchs is the celebrated violinists who has appeared throughout the world with distinguished success, has been soloist with the worlds principal symphony orchestras, and is particularly highly regarded for his sonata recitals with the pianist, Artur Balsam, who also appears in this series. Jules Wolffers is the commentator for these episodes and he gives facts about each work, stressing points of general interest rather than any deep or detailed analytical study. It is also the commentators duty to relate the work to the history and development of the form in a way that makes the information interesting and instructive to the non-specialist. All commentary is accurate and well-founded. The 10 episodes that comprise this series were originally recorded on kinescope. (Description adapted from documents in the NET Microfiche)
