Appearing at festivals and music centers around the globe, he has performed at the Ravinia Music Festival, Aspen Music Festival, Les Festival International du Domaine Forget, Kronberg Academy, Ascoli Piceno Festival, Carl Orff Festival, and the World Cello Congress.

Duration: approx. 35 minutes. Concertmaster: Mirosla Paloić One of the world’s most significant events in musical circles in 2016 was the rediscovery of Igor Stravinsky’s (1882–1971) lost composition, which went missing at the time when the composer was at the beginning of his career. Funeral Song was written in 1908 as a memorial tribute to the death of composer Nikolai Rimsky- Korsakov, Igor Stravinsky’s teacher and close friend. The piece was performed the first time in the following year, 1909, and then it was lost during the Russian Revolution. In the ensuing years, Stravinsky talked highly about this piece, referring to it as the precursor to his early masterpieces – the ballets The Firebird and The Rite of Spring, confident that it had to still exist somewhere in Saint Petersburg’s archives. The search for the long-lost score lasted longer than a century, before it was fortuitously discovered in the archives of Saint Petersburg Conservatory.

Orchestras became larger, new harmonies and harmonic relationships became available, and the scale on which composers executed their work grew significantly. It is not surprising, then, that this period also saw the emergence of music for piano duo. True, Mozart had written several pieces for two pianos, notably his fine Sonata in D Major of 1781, but these proved isolated and exceptional works. Even Beethoven, Mozart’s heir in many respects, left nothing for piano duo among his many keyboard compositions.
