Le compositeur basé à Moscou, Alexander Rosenblatt écrit une musique qui oscille entre la musique classique et le jazz. 'Elegy Waltz' Sa composition est une pièce pleine de mélancolie expressive, un 'chant sans paroles' avec cantilènes expressifs dans la partie de violoncelle et multi-couches harmonies dans la partie de piano. Un morceau performance silencieuse d'une durée d'environ cinq minutes pour le concert et à des fins d'examen. / Violoncelle Et Piano

Christopher Bunting the cellist and composer has given concerts broadcasts and master classes throughout Europe Australasia and the United States. He gave the first BBC Broadcast of the Elegy with the Pianist Ernest Lush and also was the soloist in a broadcast performance of his Concerto for Cello and Strings. His Essay on the Craft of 'Cello Playing is highly valued internationally by teachers and students alike for its detailed discussion of a large range of technical questions.

'This work was completed in 1959 and first performed during the following year by Florence Hooton and the composer.The opening Elegy is an intense lyrical movement with two distinct themes and a final mysterious section in the manner of a slow march. This is followed by a brilliant and energetic Scherzo which is entirely dominated by the opening motive heard first on the Piano while the final movement Theme and Variations is more extended and carries the main emotional weight of the work. A bell-like theme constructed mainly of fourths is followed by variations which bear the titles - Allegro inquieto OSTINATO (a kind of passacaglia) March Appassionato Waltz and finallyCHORALE in this last variation the bell-like texture of the theme is developed and enhanced.'- © Kenneth Leighton
