EVENT: Music Monday at Advent-Broadway Church
100 years ago, Claude Debussy decided to write six large sonatas that would feature a rotating variety of instruments. But the great French composer only finished three before he died a few years later. Here’s a bit of the last one he completed: Debussy’s “Sonata for Violin and Piano.”
