Stomping Dance String Duet - Digital Sheet Music

This violin duet study is a folk-like rondo in D major, with closely related episodes and a coda. The two violin parts are treated as equals, and take turns to deliver the primary melodic material. They act like folk fiddlers, with optional use of open strings, and play across a wide three-octave range. The duo often harmonise in thirds, in the manner of two-part 'horn calls', mostly outlining simple triadic harmony. The folk-like melodies are highly memorable, and susceptible to variation mainly by register and decoration. Indeed, the piece can even be used as a virtuosic encore. The work's title refers to the main theme, as well as the overall piece, which perhaps resembles a morris dance, with imagined foot stomps. The work is highly accessible for the listener and is appropriate for higher standard violinists, including advanced students and professional players. Duration: 2 minutes 00 seconds.
