Four Pieces Quasi Sonata

With a grant from the Fromm Music Foundation, Harvard University, Jaffe has penned four divergent movements for violist Jonoathan Bagg. With piano, the veiled warmth, and the mournful quality of the viola offered both the discovery of new and poetic joinings, and also the challenge of imagining passages of more virtuosic character which today's players make the instrument capable of singing, says Jaffe. For advanced performers. Duration: 17'.
