Description:
The three pieces that make up Quasis appear, at first glance, to have little in common, but nothing could be further from the truth. Although the dances and song-dances come from disparate parts of the world - Poland, Austria, America - and from different periods, Avi Schönfeld unifies them stylistically and brings them up to date through his own musical language. He also juxtaposes contrasting forms and compositional procedures - song-dance versus dance-song; intimate, introvert small-scale mazurka v. epic, extrovert waltz; improvisation v. more structured writing - and in so doing portrays different human temperaments. His aim in 'Quasi Blues' was not so much to write a traditional blues number as to create a link between his own compositional idiom and the characteristic elements of the blues.
