RICHARD WILSON Music for Violin and Cello
consists of four short movements. The first and fourth share motivic material and a formal plan; the second has the character of a scherzo; and the third , the expressive high point of the piece , bears some resemblance to a classical slow movement. The relationship between the outer movements involves certain deliberate contrasts , the reprise in the first being a tranquil recollection of its opening while that in the last intensifies and extends its material to a climatic point. The third movement is the most " systematic : the two parts are in canon at the fifth although the violin gets so far ahead that the cello must resort to a solo cadenza in order to catch up. This piece was written for Robert Rudie and Luis Garcia- Renart , who gave its first performances at Bard and Vassar Colleges in April 1969.
