Description

Prior to deciding to become a composer, Jean Sibelius (1865-1957) aspired towards a career as a professional violinist. His background as a violinist gave him an understanding of the instrument that proved useful in the writing of marketable chamber music, particularly during World War I when home performances were more necessary. His Four Pieces for Violin and Piano, Op. 78, is one such work. Approachable by any reasonable competent amateur, these four works appeal to the performer and listener through musicality rather than technique. Titles included: 1. Impromptu; 2. Romance; 3. Religioso; 4. Rigaudon. Reprint edition.
