Notes from Howard Levy

Mozart Sonatas-We love playing these pieces. They are like miniature operas or symphonies, fall of character, pathos, and wit.

Spanish Serenade-I composed this piece when I was 10 or 11 years old. When I met Fox in 1996, 1 realized that what I had written was merely the first 2 sections of a larger piece. I wrote the rest of it, and the violin entrance starts at that point.

Manic and Buzz-I have written many short solo violin pieces for Fox. These came in 2001 while I was composing my Harmonica Concerto.

Cottonpatch Rag-Chris Siebold, guitar, Eric Hochberg, bass, Howard, mandolin and harmonica. Fox got into fiddle playing in the 1980's. She studied with several of the greatest fiddlers of our times- Mark O'Connor and Richard Greene, among others. She performed in buckskin and a cowboy hat with The CS Okies, and has played fiddle solos with The CSO and on recordings.

My One and Only Love-one of my favorite ballads. I used to play it on piano with Jazz vocalist Diane Holmes, whose soulful interpretation has stayed with me. In this performance, I played piano and harmonica simultaneously, one hand for each instrument

Cappuccino-I composed this as a solo piano piece in the mid 1980's, inspired by the music of Brazilian pianist/composer Cesar Camargo. I wrote the violin part in 2004.
