Informationen
The three sonatinas by Eric Mayr for viola and piano were written in late autumn and winter of 2016. They follow the classical three-movement pattern. The first sonatina begins with a Jazz and Bluesinspired movement which quotes the chord sequence of Robert Johnson's They're red hot.This is followed by a calm and melodic middle movement, while a lively Rondo-Finale in 5/8 with a pentatonic main theme concludes the work.
