Serenade op. 74 Variations on a theme by R. Drigo

Composer 19 Composer--"

Composer: Shekov Ivan
Instrument: violin, cello and piano
Publisher: Musikverlag Zimmermann
Description:
With the classic instrumentation of the three instruments used, the composer intends to come close to the 19th century language of music and thus to the original version. According to the composer, the harlequin represents the two counterparts "melancholic" and "cheerful" - the basic idea of his work. The free introduction plus the main theme, changed in instrumentation, evokes melancholic feelings whereas the cheerful element is created by the 2nd variation of piano paraphrases.
