for Violin and Piano-Iridescent changes of time are the determining element in 'Poème érotique' of Cyril Scott's 'Deux Préludes' composed in 1912. Amid the melodic flow of the violin the piano undertakes sophisticated shifts of the bar accents from swaying three-eight time to rhapsodic seven-eight time. The following 'Danse' also requires great rhythmic understanding of its performers and with the appropriate accentuation displays its pointed charms.With 'Deux Préludes' Scott wrote chamber music works that are perfect as effective performance pieces.
