Antheil Sonata No. 4

Just a taste from our recital last week, this is the final movement from Antheil’s Sonata No. 4 for Violin and Piano. You can hear some of the younger twenty-something Antheil even in this later work. His style clearly developed and matured in the intervening twenty years while still holding on to his iconic rhythmic character. Listen for a number of iterations of “Beautiful Dreamer” throughout the movement. Enjoy!
