Sonata No. 4 for Violin and Piano

Dmitri Smirnov's Violin Sonata No. 4 subtitled "Down Memory Lane..." is written in August 2005, in St Albans. This is a one-movement composition, built as a series of musical memories, reflecting the relationship of two contrasting musical ideas. They change their appearance almost beyond recognition. The form of the work is a free fantasy, combining the features of the sonata, rondo and variations. It is premiered on the 22nd of January 2009 in London by Darragh Morgan, violin, and Mary Dullea, piano.
