Bartok Stick Game for Violin and Piano

December 28, 2012 at 1:58 AM

Bartok Stick Game

I wrote this a few months ago, and just edited it. Heard a recording of it, piano and violin, and thought it could use a bit of updating. I wrote the first part down an octave, and added some embellishments in the violin part throughout. Also, the piano part is not too boom-chuck boom-chuck, I added some dissonance and glissando-type passages.

Enjoy!!
Merry Christmas
Anna

I was hoping to find a link of you playing this unique piece to hear your interpretation as a point of reference and to have a better idea what 'you' are wanting to do with this piece. It looks intriguing!

I plan to record it in a week or two, and will put new edits in then.... the ending is the only thing I may work on a bit. The rest I'm pretty happy with

I'll make a recording of it and post it, probably on youtube. I would recommend this for parties, preludes in church, also dinner time piece, it's really a good work not too slow or sad, not too happy. Right in the middle. Not for weddings, more for services, a prelude or postlude. Something light and before the main act/piece is presented.
