A grandiose, memorable melody begins this inspiring piece. Jared Spears, well known for his tasty percussion writing has created this piece containing driving tempos, and colorful scoring found in the slower sections has outdone himself this time with this wonderful piece. Truly a remarkable piece for either contest or festival material. VERY NICE!

English comments: Divertimento I and Divertimento II, for two violins were composed in 1996. These two sister compositions have the additional attraction of being unedited works which are representative of the composer's most recent style. This etymological description, which defines a personality rather than an established musical style, takes the form of a succession of contrasting dynamic movements. One of the most outstanding features is the way in which the two instruments break away from their usual range of sounds to create the ideal conditions for suggesting their latent extent of sound possibilities in compositions that could be extended perfectly well into a string quartet. The interplay between the two instruments opens up a whole range of possibilities: short motives in an imitative style often braking out into a repetition of brief themes with a lot of personality, sequences of transformations, repetitive rhythms, etc. All theses show the virtuosity of the players on their own and together and because of their characteristics, they are written in a very clear tonal language, a times, modal, oriental, or even pentatonic. The progression of the movements is governed by a desire for variety: between the fast opening and closing movements there is a sequence of relaxed andante -some of which are in an easy two-part canon style- in scherzzi -and these are the lightest, most airy fragments of the two Divertimenti. Recordings: Ilia Ioff and Ilia Teplyakov (violins), Columna Musica (1CM0156). --Lluis MilletComentarios del Espanol:Divertimento I y Divertimento II, para dos violines fueron compuestos en el ano 1996. Un atractivo adicional de estas dos composiciones hermanas raya en su condicion de obras ineditas y representativas de la ultima manera del compositor. La acepcion etimologica, que define un caracter mas que una forma musical establecida, se concreta aqui en una sucesion de movimientos contrastados de gran dinamismo. Cabe remarcar la capacidad de los instrumentos para superar su estricto ambito sonoro y crear las condiciones idoneas para sugerir toda la amplitud sonora latente en unas composiciones que, con toda propiedad, podrian ser ampliadas en cuarteto de cuerda. El juego al que se someten los dos instrumentos se halla abierto a multiples posibilidades: breves motivos en estilo imitativo susceptibles de desembocar en elementos tematicos reiterados, poco desarrollados y de fuerte personalidad, mutaciones secuenciales, ritmos obstinados, etc., que propician el virtuosismo individual y colectivo de los ejecutantes y que, por sus caracteristicas, se inscriben en un lenguaje tonal muy claro, ocasionalmente abierto, tambien, a trazos modales y orientalizantes e, incluso, a lo pentatonico. El criterio que rige la progresion de los movimientos responde a simples razones de variedad: entre los fragmentos extremos rapidos, inicial y conclusivo, una sucesion de andante distendidos -a veces en un descanso estilo canonico a dos voces- y de scherzo los fragmentos mas ingravidos y aereos de los Divertimenti. Grabaciones: Ilia Ioff y Ilia Teplyakov (violines), Columna Musica (1CM0156). --Lluis Millet.

The story of Bastien und Bastienne is based on the musical pastoral Le Devin du Village by Jean-Jacques Rousseau. The play was hugely popular in paraphrase and translation and entered the repertoires of travelling companies and children's theaters. A shepherd succumbs to the enticements of the lady of the castle and tries to abandon his beloved. The village soothsayer appeals to his conscience and advises the abandoned Bastienne to feign coyness until Bastien shamefacedly returns to her. Mozart's version, composed in Vienna in the summer of 1768, is based on a text by Friedrich Wilhelm Weiskern that had been in existence since 1764. On his return to Salzburg, he undertook an ultimately unfinished revision of the work, improving the textual underlay and replacing the spoken dialogue with recitative. He also changed the vocal register of Colas and probably that of Bastien as well. The Carus edition is the first to treat these two versions separately.
