Duo for Violin and Violoncello

Beschrijving

Erwin Schulhoff’s String Duo for Violin and Cello, composed in 1925, is the perfect example of the modern, adventurous compositional style of the “Roaring Twenties”. In this radical work, the Czech-Jewish composer combined dissonant modern, jazz elements and Dada influences. The four movements (Allegro risoluto, Foxtrot, Musette and Perpetuum mobile) are virtuoso, provocative and timeless.
The Henle edition invites you to explore the work: based on the first edition, it offers a clear, modern engraving in two performance scores – providing maximum clarity for those wishing to delve into the beginnings of modern music in the twentieth century.
