'Romanc
e for violin and piano is
a short, reflective piece
that exploits the lyrical
qualities inherent in the
combination. Originally
written for a very young
but talented violinist,
Romance travels through
numerous moods andcolours
within a continuous
musical development of
the opening material. At
first gentle and
reflective with
increasing dramatic
outbursts outlined by the
violin sforzandi and
parallel sixths in the
piano writing, numerous
shortsolo passages in
both instruments
culminate in a fiery
climax. Quickly subsiding
into the calmer yet now
more melancholy strains
of the earlier stages of
the piece, the ending is
somewhat incomplete. This
seems to suggest
acontinuous turn of
events alluded to in the
music.'
