Composed as a birthday present to David Oistrach. In its concision of means, in its linear dialogue (which can scarcely be described focusing on beauty of sound) and in its sharp, harsh expressivity, the sonata evinces qualities that are traditionally assigned to pieces in the category 'late works'. With Vadim Gluzman's wife Angela Joffe, piano.
