This
small suite of three solo
pieces was written for
violist Deborah Lander, a
member of the Sydney
Alpha Ensemble, which
recorded Kats-Chernin's
first portrait CD Clocks
for ABC Classics in 1997.
The first piece turns out
to be a “classical”
ragtime in which
theabsence of the
accompanying piano with
its chords and
alternating basses is
never noticed. The second
piece on the open D
string flows meditatively
in quiet triple time. The
third piece is a solo
variation of Elena
Kats-Chernin's big
“hit”, the beautiful
Eliza Aria from her
ballet Wild Swans. The
three interludes can be
included in a programme
individually or together,
in any order.
