Jazz Dances Arranged for Violin and Piano
A concert arrangement of 'Dances for Two Pianos' for violin and piano
The 9 pieces pay mischievous homage to the rhythmic intracacies of popular dance forms. They were originally composed as Dances for 2 Pianos, but have been re-scored in versions for piano and orchestra, woodwind ensemble and symphony orchestra, in which versions they have been called Concert Dances. This version for violin and piano is an arrangement of the version for cello and piano created by the composer in 2001 for cellist Martin Rummel and given the more apt title Jazz Dances.
