Surely Raymond, a notorious perfectionist, must have been composing the Suite over several years, perhaps as early as 1948.Irwin Chusidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15226232494945112888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5643249717637689624.post-37578495337405733372013-06-11T16:27:06.296-04:002013-06-11T16:27:06.296-04:00Fascinating stuff, and it brings to mind a theory ...Fascinating stuff, and it brings to mind a theory of mine about Suite for Violin and Piano that I've had for awhile--that though it may well have been written as with Eidus in mind, it's also entirely possible that it was written as a tribute Raymond Scott's brother, Mark Warnow, who had recently died. Though a conductor for most of his career, Mark was also a violinist, and I like to think Scott, who of course was an accomplished pianist, wrote it as a memorial piece and spiritual musical reunion with his brother.Stan Warnowhttp://www.scottdoc.comnoreply@blogger.com
