Divisions II

Description

In music, ‘division’ refers to a type of ornamentation or variation common in 16^th and 17^th -century music in which each note of a melody is ‘divided’ into several shorter, faster-moving notes. These is a new take on this old compositional technique. In Divisions II, the violin is divided lengthways, along the middle of the fingerboard, with the resonance of bottom two strings pitted against the brilliance of the upper two strings.
