It premiered on December 12, 1914 at the Teatro Septiembre de Santiago (Chile) by the musicians Julio Rossel (p) and Armando Carvajal (vl). As Daniel Quiroga points out in the Chilean Musical Magazine No. 30 of 1948: “… In Scherzo we already find the wealth of rhythmic invention with which Soro treats this type of composition, which on the piano translates into highly demanding writing. The Intermezzo shows an idea of rich expressiveness developed by the violin in an attractive combination with the piano…. If someone remembers the sound and character of the songs, it is undoubtedly Brahms… ”. In the Carnegie Hall of N. Y. Soro he premiered on March 26, 1916 his Sonata in C # minor for piano (1912) and next to it the Scherzo of the sonata that we discussed.
