Duo Phone|Leonardo Taio|Sofia Adinolfi - Music for Viola and Piano by Shostakovich, Stravinksy, Glazunov

Shostakovich's Viola Sonata, his final composition, is a profound reflection on mortality. Written in 1975, it features three movements that blend poignant lyricism with sharp dissonance, evoking themes of introspection and farewell. The viola's rich, melancholic timbre perfectly suits the somber tone of this work, which concludes with a touching tribute to Beethoven.
