* Violin and basso continuo *

Six violin sonatas, Op. 1, Volume 1 pixel
pixelFrederick Nussen
Born in Greifswald, northern Germany, Frederick Nussen (1715/16–1779) blossomed as a composer in England, where for most of his adult life he worked as the steward (estate manager) of the music-loving Francis Greville, Lord Brooke, while also acting as a private music tutor to this nobleman and his family. The favourable reception accorded to his four collections of instrumental music published between 1749 and 1775, combined with his popularity as a person, helped to earn him membership of the Royal Music Band in 1767, even though he continued to serve the Greville family devotedly almost up to his death.

pixelFrederick Nussen
By his own choice, Nussen did not participate in public concert life, but there was nothing amateurish about his music, which unfailingly reveals excellent musical training, abundant inventiveness and a talent for combining new stylistic traits with old ones. His earliest published works, the six violin sonatas of 1749, are among the best of their kind to emerge in England half-way through the century.

pixelMing Wang
What a joy it is that we can still experience beautiful moments and find inner peace through music – moments that in a turbulent world appear like pearls bathed in soft light. The quotations from Erik Satie’s Gymnopédies that turn up unexpectedly in Ming Wang’s composition represent such precious jewels: fragile memories of peace, clarity and timeless simplicity. Yet simultaneously we are aware of living in an age of deep uncertainty — wars, a pandemic, environmental catastrophe, global crises and political unrest. These conditions are equally reflected in Wirren·Perlen (‘Confusion· Pearls’ ) — in the painful note clusters, the sharp, abrasive dissonances and the occasionally overpowering musical gestures.
A scaffolding of chords lies at the heart of the piece. Hidden in the background, this structural device holds together the consciously stage-managed confusion while lending the apparent chaos an inner order, in which the pearls of silence and holding back reveal themselves.

Den lille danserinnen (‘The Little Ballerina’) evokes a charming, gracious, light-footed dancer, while Nocturne makes the piano sing in the romantic tradition. Both these delightful short pieces would be ideal encores!
