Violinist Jennifer Koh will join pianist Reiko Uchida here February 14 for a special concert that includes the New York premiere of a new work written for them by Jennifer Higdon. As a musician with a lively interest in writing and literature, Koh always has interesting things to say about the works she performs. We asked her for her thoughts on the February 14 program below and she obliged with these audio program notes.

JANÁČEK: Sonata for Violin and Piano
SCHUBERT: Sonatina for Violin and Piano in D Major
HIGDON: String Poetic New Work (92nd Street Y Co-Commission, New York Premiere)
KURTÁG: Selections from Signs, Games, and Messages
SCHUMANN: Sonata for Violin and Piano No. 2 in D minor, Op. 121
