The world premiere performance tape during last May's festival of American music in Rochester

Elden Bazin is serenade for violin viola and cello. The
[21:15 - 21:20]
performers were Vivienne go violin. Richard Field Viola and Joel
[21:20 - 21:24]
mercial cello. Elliott
[21:24 - 21:29]
Carter one of the most distinguished of American composers active now is the
[21:29 - 21:33]
oldest represented on tonight's program he is 60. Mr. Carter has
[21:33 - 21:38]
said that he conceives his musical works as dramas to be acted out by the performers
[21:38 - 21:43]
thinking of a score in terms of a scenario the scenario for the second
[21:43 - 21:48]
quartet which won a Pulitzer Prize as soon as it was introduced by the Juilliard Quartet in 1980
[21:48 - 21:54]
is an elaborate one. The work comprises an introduction for movements and
[21:54 - 21:59]
a conclusion plus three cadenza has one each for the older cello and
[21:59 - 22:03]
violin which separate the four inner movements. The four
[22:03 - 22:08]
instruments introduced themselves in the introduction rather in the manner of the characters and a comedian. A
[22:08 - 22:13]
lot of day and one of the four dominates each of the four inner movements except the
[22:13 - 22:18]
final Allegro in which to quote the composer non-cooperation gives
[22:18 - 22:23]
way to collaboration. The conclusion is a summing
[22:23 - 22:28]
up in which in contrast to the introduction it is unity rather
[22:28 - 22:32]
than diversity that is emphasized. The sequence of
[22:32 - 22:37]
these various sections is as follows. Introduction.
[22:37 - 22:42]
Allegro Fantastico cadenza for Viola presto it's going to
[22:42 - 22:47]
sound oh good ends of her cello. I'm down to yes but it's evil cadenza for
[22:47 - 22:52]
violin allegro and conclusion.
