Pas de deux

Description

Eduard Pütz (1911-2000) was influenced by Hindemith, Stravinsky, Messiaen, and Stockhausen. He was also fascinated by the expressive language of jazz, and explored ways of achieving a compositional synthesis of these sound worlds. Pas de deux, a free atonal work, uses harmonies characterized by fourth chords and employs jazz-inspired rhythmic and melodic gestures. Intermediate Level.
