Maria Dueñas performs Gargiulo: Violin Sonata No. 4 “From the Window”

Maria Dueñas joins composer Julian Gargiulo – aka “Pianist with the Hair” – to perform his Violin Sonata No. 4. Imaginative and heartfelt as well as technically challenging, the work was composed during the Covid lockdown. Its title “From the Window” is a reference to the time when it was only by looking through one’s window that connections could be formed and togetherness felt. Dueñas was one of four finalists - each playing one movement of the Sonata - in the 7th “Getting to Carnegie” Competition, eventually going on to win it. Here she comes together with Gargiulo in a complete performance of the work, filmed in the atmospheric Ehrbar Saal in Vienna.

Soloists: 

María Dueñas (Violin), Julian Gargiulo (Piano)
