The first version of the Sonata for violin and piano was written in the autumn of 2008, when I had the opportunity to work with the violinist Robert Bachara, who was pursuing his doctoral studies at Wroclaw Music Academy.

In a period that valued new works over familiar ones, “Scipione” was one of a handf…
