Caprices for Two Violins Op.18

Highly demanding show pieces, especially if played fast, with plenty of double stops, shifting and advanced bow techniques. Each Caprice is about 5 mins long.

Pohádka – A Tale

A piece with idiomatic folk elements based on an epic poem by Vasily Zhukovsky. It has a challenging key signature (6 flats) and the ensemble with piano is also challenging. Very appealing.

The movements are: Con moto; Con moto; Allegro.

Piano part requires an experienced pianist.

Danse de la Frayeur

An effective, fast show piece/encore.

The piano part requires an experienced pianist.

Unlocked

A mixture of fast and cantabile movements in an approachable contemporary style. It is a feast of contemporary effects such as arco battuto, tremolo, LH pizzicato and false harmonics.

The movements are: Make me a Garment; No Justice; The Wind Blow East; The Keys to the Prison; Trouble, Trouble.

Oversize music, poor print.

Sonata in A minor Op.36

A romantic style sonata with a challenging quadruple stop passage and some slurred and detached string crossings.

The movements are: Allegro agitato; Andante molto tranquillo; Allegro – allegro molto e marcato.
