Darius Milhaud – 4 Visages 3 – La Bruxelloise

For Viola with Piano Accompaniment Book

“Darius Milhaud – 4 Visages 3 – La Bruxelloise” offers violists a charming and accessible piece for viola with piano accompaniment. This work is the third installment in Milhaud’s series of “Quatre Visages” (Four Faces), showcasing his ability to capture the essence of different characters through music.

“La Bruxelloise” portrays a Belgian girl from Brussels and is characterised by its delicate and lyrical nature. Despite its simplicity, the piece still requires some technical proficiency on the viola and a basic understanding of music theory to navigate through different keys.

Included in the book are parts for both viola and piano, as well as a separate viola part for practice and performance. The music unfolds at a gentle pace, allowing performers to explore the nuances of expression and emotion inherent in the piece.

Darius Milhaud, known for his modernist compositions and association with the group Les Six, brings his unique style and flair to “La Bruxelloise.” With its evocative portrayal of the Belgian girl, this piece adds depth and character to any violist’s repertoire, offering a delightful musical experience for performers and listeners alike.
