-
Abodah: a Yom Kippur melody, for violin and pianoYear: 1929
Genre: Chamber Sonata
Pr. Instrument: Violin
Kippur melody for the 12-year old Yehudi Menuhin. The title means "The
Worship of God". The style of the piece is consistently similar to Bloch's at his
most rhapsodic. The piano opens with an introductory theme. The violin enters
in meditative mood, then becomes more exalted, then soars lyrically, while the
piano plays a support role. At the end, the piano brings back the introductory
theme. The violin closes in a pensive mood.
