One of the only sonatas NOT for piano that (as a pianist) makes me jealous of the other instruments that get to play it (the solo portion, luckily I can still contribute!). Romantically contemporary and full of ethereal beauty, originality, virtuosity. Typical Prokofiev.
@@1stringendo Prokofiev's Violin Sonata No. 2 in D Major, Op. 94a (sometimes written as Op. 94bis), was based on the composer's own Flute Sonata in D, Op. 94, written in 1942 but *arranged for violin* in 1943 when Prokofiev was living in Perm in the Ural Mountains, a remote shelter for Soviet artists during the Second World War. Prokofiev transformed the work into a violin sonata at the prompting of his close friend, the violinist David Oistrakh. It was premiered on 17 June 1944 by David Oistrakh and Lev Oborin.
I love the charming passage at 5:34 leading into the recapitulation.
Splendid!

you should give prokofievs first sonata a listen (the violin part)
Just start playin the violin man, i did it for the same reason LOL that's the only way
so beautiful!
the andante is so embarrassingly great
My favorite movement is the first one (Moderato). It has an uplifting feeling for me and sounds like a spark of life or even genius of sorts.
indeed

A Version for Violoncello da Spalla (playing the Violin Part sounding 8vb) would be Killer.

Weird. I hear it just fine

Its literally louder than the piano. Turn up your volume cause you definitely cant hear the piano if you cant hear the violin
