Hopscotch Michael DeMurga

Duett für Violine und Marimba

Hopscotch is a playful, although not entirely innocent, composition where the game-like mentality is pursued on a variety of levels. The first movement serves as a prelude to the dance-like flavor of the second movement. Challenging work for both performers.
