"Harvest Song (Ara táskor)" Violin Duo # 33; Bartok

Bartok's famous bimodal "Harvest Song" #33 in his 44 Duos for violin.

http://www.classicalarchives.com/work/3873.html#tvf=tracks&tv=about :: "Harvest Song is relatively long, about two minutes—a near-giant among miniatures in the set. It opens with a slow, dark melody of simple structure. An angry, somewhat vigorous second subject is introduced, and yet another idea follows, ethereal and soothing. After the angry music is heard again, the opening theme is reprised and the piece ends, slowly fading away. The harvest of this song was obviously not a bountiful one, but its music has a profound cast and its interpretive challenges are substantial."
