Spring for Two Violins, Viola, and Cello, Opus 32 : Score and a Set of Parts

"Spring" for two violins, viola, and cello, Opus 32 is written by Iosif Andriasov (1933, Moscow, former USSR - 2000, New York City, USA) in 1994. It is an exquisite miniature, based on the ancient Armenian peasant lyrical folk song. This song is a sorrowful monologue of a woman, deserted by her lover. Mr. Andriasov depicts various gradations of a doleful mood. Such expressive means as diversity of modal shades of music, the complex polymodal and symmetrical chords, a transparent texture, and so on create a spatial and unusually exotic sonority. East and West, modern and ancient come together". - From the publicity notes by Marta Andriasova (Kudryashova).Andriasov, Iosif is the author of 'Spring for Two Violins, Viola, and Cello, Opus 32 : Score and a Set of Parts', published 2004 under ISBN 9781931815697 and ISBN 1931815690.
