Fantasy
Description
Long-celebrated as a fount of new repertoire for strings, Ellen Taaffe Zwilich (who played violin in the American Symphony under Stokowski and studied with Galamian) has created a wealth of chamber works that endure in the hearts and on the music stands of string players throughout the world. Zwilich's Fantasy for solo Violin, commissioned as a compulsory work for the 2014 International Violin Competition of Indianapolis, is a 6-minute journey through idiomatic fireworks and special colors in dramatic dialog with arching lyrical declamations. For advanced violinists. Dur.: 6'
