Emánuel Moór – Violin Sonata No. 1 in G major, Op. 12
Emánuel Moór – Violin Sonata No. 8 in D major (1916)
Emánuel Moór – Polonaise in D minor, Op. 10

In the era after the legendary virtuosi of the 19th century, instrumentalists continually redefined the limits of technical brilliance and expressive possibility. One remarkable example, Emánuel Moór – composer, polymath, and inventor, whose boundless imagination led him to design a double-keyboard piano. His Violin Sonata No. 1 in G major, Op. 12, dedicated to Sarasate, and the later Violin Sonata No. 8 in D major reveal a richly lyrical and expressive voice, while the Polonaise in D minor, Op. 10, dedicated to Viktor Daubrawszki, brings the program to a brilliant and virtuosic close.
