Debussy’s Beau Soir (1880) uses gently flowing rhythm and an elegiac melody to urge enjoyment of the world’s charms. César Franck’s Violin Sonata in A major (1886), a wedding gift to the Belgian violin virtuoso Eugéne Ysaÿe, builds each of four mvmts on the same memorable, lovely and calmly flowing theme. The 1st mvmt opens quietly; the 2nd is a fiery scherzo; the 3rd alternates dreamy meditation with passionate outbursts; the finale combines order and delight. In this mvmt, the theme, played in canon at one bar’s distance between piano and violin, creates great beauty and a triumphal ending. Claude Debussy’s Sonata in G Minor (1917), composed as he was dying of cancer, opens with a sad 1st mvmt, restless and harmonically ambiguous. The 2nd mvmt is light, fantastic and capricious, with a sensuous 2nd theme. The finale refers to the 1st mvmt’s melancholic theme, then closes with a virtuosic rondo based on a rapid, faintly Spanish theme. Camille Saint-Saëns Sonata No. 1 (1885) is modeled on the Beethovenian ideal of heroic sonata composition. The 1st mvmt theme is metrically unsettled, restless, and the 2nd subject lyrical. The 2nd mvmt contains exalted, melodic moments. The 3rd mvmt has Mendlessohnian lightness and a chorale-like melody. The finale is brilliant and vivacious.
