The Wisconsonian is a
short piece for Alto and
Piano. Easy to play, it
requires some technique
of the instrument and
some theory knowledge to
read in different keys.
Thebook includes the
parts for Viola and Piano
and for Viola only. The
music is cheerful and
quite fast, with the
Viola part playing mainly
semisquavers alternating
up and down every two
bars. It is supposed to
represent anAmerican girl
coming from Wisconsin.
She is part of the four
faces with: I. The
Californian girl, II. The
Wisconsonian and IV. The
Parisian girl. Darius
Milhaud (1892-1974) was a
French modernist composer
and a teacher. He wasalso
part of the Les Six and
was strongly influenced
by Jazz. His opus list
ended at 443.
