Par HOLLIGER HEINZ. Here's proof, if you ever needed it, that contemporary music can be humourous. Want to hear Mendelssohn's Wedding March beefed up with Wagner's Tristan? And enjoy listening out for the well-known melody of 'Tea for two' in the escapades of 'Three for two'? The entertaining collection were composed individually, and for a variety of purpose - some were congratulatory messages for well-known fellow musicians such as Elliott Carter or Thomas Demenga, but some were just composed while waiting at a bus stop! Hence, the pieces can be played either as effective encore pieces./ Répertoire / Violon et Violoncelle

10 duets. Par IGUDESMAN ALEKSEY. In his new collection, Aleksey Igudesman goes well beyond where his previous book, Violin and Cello and More left off. In the first book, the pieces were designed for beginners and intermediate players to have fun and be stretched. But here, no punches are pulled! In ?Danny Boy?, the cellist will be tackling double stops in tenor clef and in ?Pizzicato?, both players are faced with fiendishly fast sempre pizzicato. The book progresses through many styles, taking in Aleksey?s reinventions of famous pieces by Mozart and Beethoven, to an unashamedly virtuoso conclusion called ?Double Trouble?. Even Aleksey himself says ?it is not exactly easy to play?. You have been warned! Wonderful fun and very challenging pieces, ideal for concert encores. / Date parution : 2022-11-15/ Recueil / Violon et Violoncelle
