I think Heifetz plays more like a soloist that he should be here; it's a sonata for violin and piano, not a sonata for violin accompanied by piano. He seems to pay little attention to what Rubinstein is doing. Nevertheless, it's a great recording by wonderful artists - thanks for posting.
I love the octaves. Let's remember that the pianist is Rubinstein who played this piece with Ysaye (to whom the Sonata was dedicated). I especulate Rubinstein aproved the octaves. (so do I)
No other person probably would dare do something like that.
But what of it? I can't complain at all; the octaves in that F minor climax especially add such urgency and electricity to the music. What a moment he made that passage...
weird? I think they're just right there! Exactly the moment where as violinist you feel you need something extra, just as in the last two bars, where he also changed the ending...
it's the only time they recorded as a duo

A questão é que Heifetz é unico nenhum violinista consegue e nem vai conseguir soar como Heifetz no violino

What does heifetz play in the 2nd last bar? Is that part of the original score?

The octaves and the notes at the very ending are not of Cesar Frank... and it is irrespective of the intent of the great composer ...

@h4x3dby1337 Perhaps that's why this was the only time that Heifetz and Rubinstein performed together!

Rubinstein and Heifetz played together many, many times.
They played often in their Rubinstein, Heifetz, Piatagorsky Trio which apparently clueless @ellenlinn7 has never heard of.

¿Podrías señalar las octavas, por favor? (los segundos dentro de la pista)
Would you mark it the octaves? Please. (The seconds inside the track)

Just when the piece is already massive, Heifetz just has to make it harder with octaves and a doublestopped run.
I probably shouldn't be surprised.

No complaints from me either; Heifetz definitely adds an extra burst of energy to the music...it's just such a Heifetz thing to do haha
