Published by Isaac Tang (A0.1279460). ‘Passacaglia for Violin and Piano’ revolves around a chromatically descending bass ostinato (the lament bass), which offers many variational possibilities. Written in the Romantic style, the piece passes through brooding melancholy, rapid spirited passages and tender Chopinesque interweaving melodies, constantly propelled by its unyielding harmonic structure towards an exhilarating finale. It also achieves these effects by employing the violin’s large palette of techniques and tone colours, including pizzicato, spiccato, the warm sul G tone, rolled 4-string arpeggiations, double stops, contrasts in dynamics and ornamental flourishes.
