Two violins and piano

[pianopal_05]

Hey does anyone know of some good music for two violins and piano, around 5 minutes (can be a movement) and of approx DipABRSM standard? Thanks

Milhaud's Op. 15 is a sonata for two violins and piano.
Martinu also wrote one which I like a lot.

Both works are in multiple movements.

I don't know what DipABRSM is.

Some other good pieces in this format...

Sarasate's Navarra (Spanish dance), op. 33
Cyril Scott's sonata
Granados' Bolero

Not a very common format, but look into all these.

Too long, I guess, but there's a concerto for this medium by the English composer Alan Bush (1900-1995) that's well worth checking.

Best,

A good way to find pieces for specific chamber settings is to run a search in www.worldcat.org, which catalogues the contents of hundreds of music libraries and archives around the world. Just type in "two violins and piano" in quotations and it will uncover things you otherwise wouldn't have known about. When I was trying to find more bassoon sonatas and bass clarinet pieces by post-1920s composers (two very obscure things I've studied in the past), Worldcat was a godsend.

It won't put the piece in your hands, but you might be lucky enough to have a library nearby that has it.
