Rhapsody for violin and orchestra is a composition concluding a 'tonal period'. I composed the work in my first year at the Conservatory. This composition exists of two contrasting movements: a slow introduction, followed by a Scherzo of a rhapsody-kind, in which differing solo-cadenzas turn up, alternated with stirred up passages for the orchestra. The composition was written according to a modal system (octatonic mode) and the concept is quite romantic: complete freedom of rhythm, melody and form.
