"Perfidia | Sonata" derives its name from Torelli's perfidia concept, where 'per fidia' ("between the strings") represents the site of musical invention, both technical and affective. This work for violin and piano demonstrates complexity and virtuosity in its composition, with thematic origins from the great tradition of soggetto cavato and its evolution across centuries, from Josquin to Bach to Ravel. It playfully engages with sonata history through four movements ranging from heroic Romantic virtuosity to mechanical scherzando, geometric quietism, and playful dance.
