I had wanted for some time to write a fairly simple piece for violin and piano, of 3-6 minutes in length. When the first beta of what will be Composer 2.0 came out and I wanted to try it out with something new, I decided to do the piece.

The Interlude was, then, done completely in the 2.0 betas, starting with the first one and finished (or got to a point I could say finished about) in 1.95.

It is fairly easy to play, technically, and the themes are, I think, quite simple. The first theme is really a patchwork of short phrases I like, stitched together, in what I hope is a coherent fashion. The purpose of the middle theme is mainly to provide agitation--er, make that contrast.

The piano is the GM acoustic grand, or piano 1. The violin is the Chaos solo violin, patch 41, which provides neither too much nor too little vibrato. The GM violin provides too little, and the Chaos instrument makes a big difference.

I will post the 1.17 version, since that can be opened either in 1.x or the betas.
