Janáček’s Kreutzer Sonata—which takes its name and inspiration from Tolstoy’s novella, which in turn took its own inspiration from Beethoven’s sonata—opens this passionate program, which includes Weinberg’s Shostakovich-inspired Fourth Violin Sonata and Beethoven’s sophisticated and innovative Septet, an early composition that remained an inescapable hit throughout the composer’s life.
