Scent Dance II for viola solo is based on the version for cello from 2010. The virtuoso work was inspired by Xuntian Hes poem Passing by the Earth, in which the author asks about the meaning of life in the face of his finiteness. The version for viola solo was written on the occasion of the 20th Viola Space Festival in Tokyo 2011.

Using themes based on semi-quavers Peter Kleine Schaars has carefully crafted these four contrasting dances for the De Haske Flexible 4 Series. Each of the parts take a turn to play the melody so no player feels left out. Take your players on a musical dance lesson in which you'll hear a paso doble, a slow waltz, a tango and a swinging jive as a closing. Fantastic fun for the smaller ensemble. Peter Kleine Schaars schreef deze eenvoudige selectie in de Flexible 4 Series speciaal voor beginnende jeugdorkesten. Met als kleinste notenwaarde een achtste heeft de componist vier totaal verschillende dansen gecreëerd. Destemmen nemen om de beurt de melodie voor hun rekening. In een soort muzikale dansles hoort u achtereenvolgens een paso doble, een langzame wals, een tango en een swingende jive als afsluiter.Auf die besonderen Bedürfnisse von zahlreichen Anfänger- und Jugendorchestern eingehend, schrieb Peter Kleine Schaars diese Auswahl an einfachen Stücken für die Flexible 4 Series.

Commissioned by Network for New Music, who premiered the work in April 2008, with support from Philadelphia Music Project, an Artistic Initiative of The Pew Charitable Trusts, administered by the University of the Arts.“Song and Dance†began its life as a nascent melody in the late eighties, employing a similar motivic cell as did three of my works written over a period of several years — East Wind, String Quartet No. 2 (Vistas), and Mirage. At the ore of these three works is the simplest of melodic kernels — a note encircled by its two neighboring tones (and more specifically, a half step above and whole step below). At the time, I envisioned writing a work for voice, oboe, and marimba, and had just begun it, only to drop it in favor of more pressing compositional assignments. Almost twenty years later, the vocal fragment finally evolved into the “song†of this work, played here by the soprano saxophone. But it seems that the song, all these years, had been waiting for its counterpart, a dance. Singing and dancing are two of humankind’s most basic and essential impulses, transcending time and place, reaching back to the earliest civilizations. The resulting composition, “Song and Danceâ€, moves back and forth between the two, delineating its various parts further with the use of both soprano and alto saxophones, partnered by mallet percussion instruments — mostly vibraphone and marimba, with bells added at the very end of the work. The song portions return to the same melody, varied and evolved over time, as new materials are introduced in the dance sections, affecting the presentation of the recurring song music. My thanks to the Network for New Music for commissioning this work and allowing me the freedom to choose its format and instrumentation.—Shulamit Ran.
