Konnyek [Hungarian, Tears - from Bartok, Bluebeard] is the Collaboration of Serbian Composer, Pianist Marina Vesic, and English Composer, Percussionist julian Broadhurst. As our first project together we decided to each make a piece for each Other, each to have a copy of both, then to separately sit down in our respective Studios and work on some solution of combination. The results to be held in common, as Konnyek 1 and 2.
So here is Konnyek 1, my half of the solution, A Sonata for Piano and Percussion in one movement. Naturally Marina is the pianist and I the percussionist, I recall asking her if she had been Clara Schumann in a former life [as my middle name is Robert], because the two halves fell together like we had been in the same room. It is not difficult to imagine it as a live performance, it is very close to an acoustic recording.
