Jan Van der
Roost originally composed
each and every note of
‘Slavia’ (as
in case in
‘Puszta’,
‘Rikudim’
and ‘A Highland
Rhapsody’).
Consequently,
‘Slavia’
does not contain any
arrangement of existing
tunes, but is an original
composition ‘in the
style of…’.
The introduction has an
ABA structure and exposes
a broad melodic line.
Following a short
cadenza, there is a
second movement in a fast
and fiery tempo. The
tempi increase, gradually
culminating in an
exciting final climax,
making this
‘Slavonic
Rhapsody’ a
spell-binding experience
to the very last
note.
