Bacewicz, Grazyna - Partita

Three-movement work written at the beginning of the 30s while composer was studying composition in Warsaw and Paris. The opening Allegro is remarkably lively, dancing and lyrical. Thanks to the counterpointing or complementing of motifs, the violin part corresponds excellently with the piano part. The middle Andante is marked by considera_x005Fble calmness, although at times the narrative becomes somewhat agitated. The punchy Vivo fi nale, containing elements of a rondo with variations, ends with a striking coda in the parts of both instruments.
