Music of a Forgotten People is a dynamic violin duet, ideal for accomplished students or professionals alike looking for an energetic piece to end a concert or recital. The piece begins at a slow pace with the first violin 'improvising' a line. The second violin enters, with a desire to push the tempo but the first violin holds firm. Each player strives for dominance until they come end the section together a luanch into a lively jig. The style of this piece gives a generous nod to the duos of Bartók. The download includes the full score and individual parts to arrange on a stand as needed.
