Instrumental Duet,Piano Cello,Instrumental Duet,Piano,Violin - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.950804 Composed by Moshe S. Knoll. 20th Century,Jewish. Score and parts. 55 pages. ArtsAhimsa #3479065. Published by ArtsAhimsa (A0.950804). This composition is a bold, dramatic, virtuoso concert-piece for Piano Trio, synthesizing some of the Klezmer melodic idioms with Classical Motivic-Development Technique and some Baroque Counterpoint. The result can only be categorized as Post-Modernism, since the extensive develpment reveals hidden dramatic possibilities in the comparatively simple folk material. This should be a very rewarding piece for both performers and audiences. The virtuosity of the writing is only a device in the service of purely musical ends.
