The Brodsky Quartet perform Elgar's sister works, his Violin Sonata and String Quartet.

The Brodsky Quartet perform Elgar’s Violin Sonata and String Quartet, written together in 1919 and which resonate with shared musical ideas.

The Brodsky Quartet present a programme of Elgar’s works to the Edinburgh New Town Concert audience, which were written during a creative retreat to the West Sussex countryside in 1919. The violin sonata (played by quartet first violin Gina McCormack and pianist Martin Roscoe) and the quartet are both written in E minor, the key of his famous Cello Concerto, which was also written at this time. They share many similarities in musical ideas and characterisation.
