Zikmund Schul est né à Chemnitz en 1916 et mort dans le ghetto de Theresienstadt en 1944. Il est l'un des compositeurs qui ont été négligés lors de la réévaluation de la musique des soi-disant 'compositeurs de Theresienstadt'. En coopération avec le ' Theresienstadt Music Memorial Project ' à Tel-Aviv et le Mémorial de Yad Vashem, Bote and Bock publierez oeuvres tous conservés par l'étudiant de Hindemith et Hába Zikmund Schul en séquence lâche, avec les oeuvres d'autres compositeurs. Les travaux comprennent la musique de chambre pour les chaînes, oeuvres vocales et chorales et une fugue de piano. Le ' Duo ', écrit en 1943, est une des oeuvres du Schul plus vaste préservé et une des compositions plus importantes pour ce type d'ensemble du duo - une amélioration inestimable du répertoire. / Violon Et Alto

Par VEYRIER JACQUES. Les Pastorales se présentent sous la forme d'un triptyque (vif, lent, vif) sans pour autant suivre le plan habituel de la forme sonate. En effet, la première partie enchaîne une mosaïque de thèmes qui présentent en commun une simplicité toute agreste, ce qui explique le titre de ces pièces. / Niveau : Moyen Avancé à Assez Difficile / Moderne / Date parution : 2010-02-15/ Répertoire / Violon et Alto

To see the summer sky for Violin and Viola falls into four movements. The first movement opens with the two instruments sounding almost as one playing very high glassy harmonics. Gradually an expressive viola solo emerges withboth instruments descending to their lower ranges. A livelier quasi scherzando solo for violin accompanied by viola pedal notes leads to a chorale like passage the violin at the top of its range whilst the viola is at itslowest. The movement ends with the two instruments coming together once again on a unison Bb and fades away almost as it has begun but this time in the husky lower registers.The second movement is much faster and openswith a downward flurry for both instruments. A continuous pizzicato line for viola is interrupted by more violent passages in the violin. The two instruments come together in a dance-like passage before the roles are reversed.Finally an ecstatic melody surfaces in the viola and is later continued in the violin before the movement closes with the spiky figures of its opening the two instruments ending in unison.The third movement encompasses isthe most delicate and still music of the piece. After a very tranquil opening an expressive violin melody is accompanied by a gentle rocking figure in the viola. Tentative at first intensity and speed gather until the violinreaches stratospheric heights. Both of the instruments play at the extremes of their registers before moving to common ground for a more lively textural passage. This is followed by a passionate reminder of the movement’s opening gradually fading away to nothing.The piece ends with a Moto Perpetuo. The instruments begin by dovetailing a single line which develops into two strands before a more violent section appears punctuated by strident doublestops. Both instruments have slightly manic solo episodes before the movement quickly dies away in the single line of its opening
