CARL FISCHER ULYSSES Kay Five Portraits For Violin & Piano

This set of five pieces for violin and piano by American composer Ulysses Kay was commissioned by the McKimi Fund of the Library of Congress. Completed in 1972, the work was premiered by violinist Ruggiero Ricci at the Library of Congress on February 22, 1974, with pianist Leon Pommers. Perhaps influenced by his studies at Yale University with neoclassical composer Paul Hindemith, Kay utilized the technique of a twelve-tone matrix for each intriguing piece. The five pieces are titled Scherzando, Adagio, Allegretto, Larghetto, and Allegro. SKU: PF53 Commission Notice: Commissioned by The McKim Fund in The Library of Congress Publisher: Pembroke Music Co.
