DIALOGUE – sonatas for violin and piano by Johannes Brahms

The Kirsanova-Brozgul Duo was founded in 2022 by two accomplished Melbourne-based musicians, violinist Sophia Kirsanova and pianist Berta Brozgul, to explore the repertoire for violin and piano as equal and harmonious partners in chamber music.

Brahms’ Violin Sonatas in D minor and G major were composed nearly a decade apart. Though contrasting in character, both works reflect Brahms’ gift for creating a delicate balance between violin and piano—a true musical partnership and deeply personal dialogue.

The G major Sonata evokes the spirit of lost youth and memory. Lyrical and introspective, it offers emotional depth with graceful restraint. In contrast, the D minor Sonata is charged with stormy passion, dramatic intensity and virtuosic expression.
