About
Violin Sonata - Newgrass Bluegrass for violin and piano draws on popular and folk music idioms (bluegrass, jazz, Celtic jig) comined with minimalist devices (aspects of additive rhythmic construction in movements one and two, and repetitive extension of a 'theme' in the last movement).
The work is dedicated to my daughter Annabelle, who played the first movement while at school, but later, after completion of the second and third movements, the work was given its first public performance by Sonja Schebeck (violin) and Diana Blom (piano) at the National Folk Festival Hawkesbury, Sydney, in 2004.
