Composer and
violinist János
Lavotta (1764-1820), as a
member of the ''virtuoso
trio'' who played a great
role in the history of
Hungarian music, was one
of the pioneers of
verbunkos music. (The
other two key players
being János Bihari and
Antal Csermák.)
Although Lavotta s Violin
Duos Op. 49 must have
also been used for
playing music at home,
they show the composer's
clear educational intent
since the fourteen
consecutive pieces
gradually increase in
difficulty in both
technical and musical
respects. The relatively
short and undemanding
melodies (which can be
grasped by beginners),
the sequence-like
structure that makes
practising individual
technical elements
possible,
therhythmical-harmonic
accompanying forms, as
well as the temperately
applied modulations are
definitely suitable for
beginner violinists to
achieve significant
progress in playing.
According to music
historian Mária
Domokos, Lavotta's duos
could have been included
in the syllabus of any
contemporary music school
at the time. The first
publication of Easy Duos
- which came out on the
250th anniversary of the
Lavotta's birth - was
edited by János
Dombóvári who
provided the fingering
and the necessary
instructions for
performance.
Die
Erstauflage von EASY DUOS
- die anlässlich des
250. Geburtstag von
Lavotta erschien - wurde
von János
Dombóvári mit
Fingersätzen und
Spiel-Tipps ergänzt.
Die 14 relativ kurzen,
spielfreundlichen
Melodien, die
unkomplizierte
rhythmisch-harmonischeStr
uktur und die einfachen
Modulationen machen sie
zu idealen
Übungsstücken
für Anfänger, ohne
diese jedoch zu
unterfordern.
