| The aim: |
a super-song, a mega-composition, something that
astonishes people, that makes them sob, laugh and rejoice. No
“sophisticated” art but no cheap entertainment either. Take the best of
pop, jazz, tango, opera, operetta, klezmer, soul, blues, minimalist
music, virtuosic violin-music (Paganini, Wienawsky, Sarasate) and so on,
or compose your own style. Everything is fine as long as the audience is
crazy about it.
Concerning the playing technique the composition is expected to be
sophisticated, challenging and unconventional. It is expected to combine
new effects with innovative sounds and hot rhythms.
The composition must be written for that competition only and
exclusively for our duo. Certainly, we are also interested in already
existing duos but we cannot account for them with regard to this
particular competition. |
