“Seco
nd of the series of ?Four
Faces? by Darius Milhaud,
II. 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.
The book 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 an American
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 was
also part of the Les Six
and was strongly
influenced by Jazz. His
opus list ended at
443.â€.
