Midnight On The Water / Bonapartes Retreat (unaccompanied violin) MO172
Unaccompanied Violin
Music by Mark OConnor
6 pages - 7:30 minutes in length
Midnight On The Water/Bonapartes Retreat was released on Mark OConnors highly praised 1998 Sony Classical recording which features unaccompanied pieces for violin. OConnor uniquely crafts the old fiddle tune into a violin encore that has become a trade-mark of his concerts during the 1990s. Also included is the recordings title piece, a Benny Thomasson tune on which he, his father and his uncle collaborated during the early 1900s in Texas. The tune has become a favorite of American-influenced fiddlers from all over the world. OConnor keeps his arrangement close to Thomassons version but performs it much slower, an original beautiful waltz he learned from the master as his 12 year old protege. The music is suitable for intermediate and advanced levels.
Original music printed from the composers manuscripts.
