Seredin G. Nocturne for Two. For viola and bayan

Author’s note

My enormous love for stringed instruments constantly nudges me to turn in one form or another to composing for them. Including, and this is especially important to me, in combinations with the seemingly “incongruous” accordion. “Nocturne for Two” is an example of such a composition. How harmonious the result is, I leave it to you to judge.

As the distinguished composer Giya Kancheli said in the preface to his collection “Simple Music for Piano”, “...the pieces can be played in any sequence and in any quantity. The pieces can also be not played at all...”. The words cited are entirely appropriate to this edition as well.
