Both are dedicated to the legendary violinist, David Oistrakh, who played parts of the First Sonata at Prokofiev's funeral.\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eOn this recording, the Five Melodies serve as the transition between light and darkness. The work was originally a wordless vocalise written while Prokofiev was living in the\\r\u003cbr\u003eUSA. It was arranged for violin and piano during his years in Paris.\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eElise B\\xe5tnes began playing the violin at age four and debuted as soloist with Trondheim Symphony Orchestra four years later.
