I quite like this little piece! I don’t suppose there’s a way to download the recording.

No, streaming only.

Violin solo with piano emphases if that helps. Makes me want to listen to more Babbitt though. Tried a few years ago and didn’t get on with it at all. Maybe he’d mellowed with age by the time he wrote this.

Is that how you hear it, Tom? But is the piano really emphasising anything the violin does?

Hi, avantmusicnews.com brought me here. I like this, I hear little rhythmic figures echoed between the piano and violin or begun by one and completed by there other, and an overall forward motion they’re pursuing together. Listen at 50 seconds and following for one example.
