Inspired by the Slavonic Dances of Czech master AntonÃn Dvořák, Joseph Compello has written his own Furiant, a Bohemian dance, usually in triple meter with frequently shifting accents. This dazzling little original piece makes much of the contrast between 6/8 and 3/4. This variety of rhythmic pulse gives the piece tremendous energy and momentum. Slavic Scherzo is a selection that will energize the band and delight the audience in equal measure.

This powerful original contains driving rhythms and soaring melodic lines in the Bohemian folk style. An aggressive style of playing with a gritty, Bartok-like quality should be encouraged. Accurate intonation in the dissonant passages using half-step chromaticism will also be important for a convincing performance. Duration 5:00. Available in SmartMusic.
