About this arrangement

Violin SKU: HL.50600986 For Solo Violin. Composed by Joan Tower. String Solo. Classical. Softcover. 12 pages. Associated Music Publishers, Inc #AMP8318. Published by Associated Music Publishers, Inc (HL.50600986). ISBN 9781495099267. UPC: 888680702106. 9x12 inches.Composer Note: String Force (2010) was commissioned by the International Violin Competition of Indianapolis for the 2010 competition and underwritten by the Christel DeHaan Family Foundation in honor of the children and families of Christel House. It is dedicated with great affection and admiration to the violinst Jaime Laredo. The 7-minute work was an attempt at writing a challenging piece for violin. Between the high speed of notes within a visceral energy context and the high delicate registral writing, there are many technical as well as musical challenges within this work. After hearing the sixteen semi-finalists at the Indianapolis Violin Competition perform String Force, I realized there is also much range for interpretation.
