French
composer and teacher,
Darius Milhaud
(1892-1974) was a
prolific composer of the
20th century as a member
of 'Les Six'. His
compositions remain
highly regarded, Sonata
No. 2 for Viola and Piano
being no exception.
Milhaud'scompositions are
influenced by jazz and
polytonality, as
exemplified in Sonata No.
2. Composed in 1944,
Sonata No. 2 for Viola
and Piano is an
alternative, exciting
sonata made up of three
movements - 1) Rural, 2)
Dramatic, and 3)Rough.
Milhaud makes use of
variation in
articulation, complex
rhythms, chromaticism,
accidentals, harmonics,
altering tempos,
variation in dynamics and
a wide tessitura, amongst
other aspects. Milhaud's
Sonata No. 2 for Viola
andPiano is essential to
all advanced violists
seeking modern and
exciting repertoire.
