Little Children's Suite.
by Tadeusz Baird. PWM/Theodore Presser Company (588 N. Gulph Rd., King of Prussia, PA 19406), 2000. 5 pp. violin, 10 pp. piano; $16.95. Early intermediate.
Little Children's Suite by Tadeusz Baird is a short, four-movement work for the advanced beginner to early-intermediate Violinist. It has elements of traditional folksong with some gentle ventures into atonality. The structure is straightforward with a sonata-like feel to the four movements: an opening moderato movement in 4/4 time, a simple andantino, an allegretto in 3/4 with nice interplay between B-flat major and G minor, and a sprightly allegro giocoso to finish.
Little Children's Suite presents a pleasing if somewhat benign exploration of mild atonality. The departures from diatonic home key occur primarily in the piano part. This gives the violinist the anchor of consonance within his or her part while still expanding the aural lexicon. However, one could argue that an opportunity was missed to gain direct experience with enjoyable dissonance.
