Scherzo by Jozef Swider Flute - Sheet Music

SKU: BT.PWM12265010

The Scherzo for Flute and Guitar is a musical ‘joke’ on which Józef Świder worked for several years. The one-movement, just under 6-minute composition has an ABA’ structure. The main melodic thread in the form of ‘little’ motifs is carried here by the flute; the guitar, on the other hand, provides a distinctive accompaniment; only at moments do the instruments dialogue with each other. In the middle section, the flute initiates a quasi-lyrical – as the composer wrote – ‘amusing secondary theme’; the guitar, in turn, complements it with a harmonic and rhythmic accompaniment. What dominates is the grotesque, sarcasm, an Oriental melodic line in the flute part. Further along in the narrative, there ensues an only somewhat modified A’ section.
