NILS MÖNKEMEYER & WILLIAM YOUN

Mosaic: Sonatas and Fragments by Mozart and Schubert

Pierre Boulez Saal

Even prolific geniuses such as Schubert and Mozart left behind numerous sketches and incomplete drafts that are rarely given attention alongside the celebrated masterpieces but sometimes contain the most daring experiments. In their duo recital, Nils Mönkemeyer and William Youn examine some of the fragments that have come down to us from these two composers in contemporary completions. In addition to these musical mosaics, they also perform Mozart’s Violin Sonata K. 379 and Schubert’s famous “Arpeggione” Sonata, both in arrangements for viola.

Imagining New Paths A Conversation with William Youn

You’ve been collaborating with Nils Mönkemeyer for quite some time. What’s at the core of your partnership?

We share a musical bond. We’ve been playing together for 14 years now, our first concert was in 2009. Over time, we’ve developed a deep understanding of each other, and I feel very comfortable performing with him. Also, there aren’t many pieces written for piano and viola, so we’ve been creative in crafting programs and discussing new ideas. Nils is a great partner in exploring new possibilities. This is also part of the program we’ll be performing at the Pierre Boulez Saal.
