I program notesPartita No. 2 in D minor, BWV 1004, Chaconne  |  J. S. BachThe Chaconne was composed as a theme and variations. The first four bars contain the principle theme with 64 variations to follow. At 15 minutes in length, this movement is longer than all others from Partita No. 2 combined. The form consists of two large D minor sections on the borders and expansive D major episode in the middle. Because of the massive length, Bach was able to fit a large variety of contrapuntal techniques and technical challenges. Today, the Chaconne is often played as a stand alone movement. Concerto for Violin and Piano  |  Aram KhachaturianMvt. IKhachaturian's violin concerto was composed in the Summer of 1940 before the birth of his son. At the time he and Oistrakh were great friends and agreed to collaborate on the work. There is no denying the immense creative output that Khachaturian experienced as the three movement work was finished in just two months. The first movement is a sonata-allegro form with two themes and development and Cadenza to connect the recapitulation. Throughout the movement, soloist maintains a playful competition with accompaniment. Despite being a citizen of the Soviet Union, Khachaturian chose to incorporate Armenian folk songs into the concerto. In fact, all of his creative works were dedicated to the Armenian people.about the school of music`/musicKSU     t@musicKSU     y/musicKSU         @musicKSUmusicKSU.comVisit the Live Streaming page on musicKSU.com to watch live broadcasts of manyof our concerts and to view the full schedule of upcoming live streamed events.Please consider a gift to the Kennesaw State University School of Music. http://community.kennesaw.edu/GiveToMusicconnect with usThe School of Music at Kennesaw State University is an exciting place to live, work and learn.
