Das Violinduo	Mar 2 2009 6:03 PM Compose “the excellent song”! a super-song, a mega-composition, something that astonishes people, that makes them sob, laugh and rejoice. No “sophisticated” art but no cheap entertainment either. Take the best of pop, jazz, tango, opera, operetta, klezmer, soul, blues, minimalist music, virtuosic violin-music (Paganini, Wienawsky, Sarasate) and so on, or compose your own style. Everything is fine as long as the audience is crazy about it. Concerning the playing technique the composition is expected to be sophisticated, challenging and unconventional. It is expected to combine new effects with innovative sounds and hot rhythms. Instrumentation: 2 violins Duration: approximately 5 minutes of music Awards: 1. Prize: 3000 Euros Heinrich-Vetter Preis 2. Prize: 2000 Euros Bourgier-Seisser-Cleve-Werhahn-Preis 3. Prize: 1000 Euros Pro Musica Viva Maria Strecker-Daelen Preis 4. Prize: 400€ Additionally, there will be two extra prizes of the PE-Förderkreis for students of music: each consists of 250 Euros! Deadline: 01.07.2009 Course of events: With the professional counselling of Prof. Sidney Corbett we will determine a preselection (in total six compositions) among all the compositions sent in. That preselection is presented to the audience at the concert of awardees (on the 18th of September 2009 at the Reiss-Engelhorn Museum, Mannheim). The audience is going to vote for the awarding.
