About this arrangement

Cello; Piano Accompaniment - difficult SKU: HL.49045755 Cello and Piano. Composed by Nikolai Kapustin. This edition: Saddle stitching. Sheet music. String Solo. Classical. Softcover. Composed 1999. Op. 97. 16 pages. Duration 200 seconds. Schott Music #ED22849. Published by Schott Music (HL.49045755). ISBN 9790001166652. UPC: 841886032866. 9.0x12.0x0.06 inches.Burlesque is a jolly piece, starting with two lines of solo cello music (arco), which switches to pizzicato as the piano picks up the theme. The work parodies contrasting styles, abruptly juxtaposing a jazz idiom with a lyrical, romantic line, all the time displaying a great sense of humour in this frequent exchange. Towards the end a teasing dialogue ensues between cello and piano as they toss the jazz theme back and forth. In 1999 Kapustin wrote three short compositions for cello and piano: Burlesque, Elegy (ED 22848) and Nearly Waltz (ED 22852).
