This is very much me practicing my synth voicing and mixing  skills with some truly wonderful music. Synths used - Massive, Albino III and Zero -g's Outer Limits. I've never listened to Tomitas version - is mine similar?

   Many pianists professional and amateur alike play this piece in the style of a 'romantic' Chopin nocturne. However, Debussy's tempo indication is clearly marked 'Con Moto' (with motion) and this piece is more akin to a baroque dance, than a romantic nocturne. I have played it in the manner of the great French pianist 's Philippe Entremont and Gaby Casadesus, a contemporary of Debussy. I share their opinion on the interpretation of this work.

Although the “Kreutzer” Sonata, Op. 47, is dedicated to Rodolphe Kreutzer, the original dedication was to George P. Bridgetower (1779-1860), for whom the piece was written. Bridgetower, an African-Polish violinist who lived in London.
Rodolphe Kreutzer (1766-1831) was a French violinist of great renown whom Beethoven met in Vienna in 1798.

Beethoven’s decision to dedicate the sonata to Kreutzer instead of Bridgetower was probably related to his intended move to Paris and a wish to ingratiate himself with French musical luminaries. Legend has it that Beethoven changed the dedication because he and Bridgetower quarreled over a woman. Kreutzer most likely never knew of the dedication, and it is almost certain that he never played the piece.

The “Kreutzer” Sonata was published in 1805. Beethoven described the piece as “written in a very concertante style, like that of a concerto,” explaining the internal conflict generally associated with his larger works.

Beethoven’s “new path” is everywhere evident in the first movement of the “Kreutzer” Sonata. The only slow introduction Beethoven ever wrote for a violin sonata is actually the only portion of the movement in A major, which gives way to A minor at the beginning of the Presto sonata-form section. Development of the first theme does not occur until the lengthy, weighty coda, which is much more symphonic than chamber-style in conception.
