More sneak peak

So far, I have two suites of music in the works and nearly ready for next week. Although they need some more practice before then, I couldn’t help messing with different, goofy idea I had for more solos. When I was in high school and learning a Mozart concerto I suggested I might like to create my own cadenza drawing from fiddle styles I was learning to improvise in. My teacher replied that would be like putting garlic in a chocolate cake! So I didn’t do it then. But now, all these years later, I thought “What happens if I combine the themes of that Mozart concerto with fiddle style and create a new piece with it?” Will it lead to anything useful to anybody? There is still something humorous to me about this kind of thing. I’m not sure but maybe it is because we’ve been conditioned all our lives to think of concert music as one thing and everything else as less serious. Anyway, I may subject people to something like this on Thursday, if it’s ready. For now, here’s a little bit of this experiment.
