Kyle MacLeod writes : "When attending a colleague's violin recital, the moment she began playing the ? rst movement of the Cinq mélodies I fell in love with it. I could hear that it would sit extremely well on the ? ute and I realised there was only a single work by Proko ? eff in the ? ute repertoire, Sonata no 2 in D Major op 94. This is also available for violin and piano, rearranged by the composer himself a year after the original publication.
Just like the Sonata, we could now have the Cinq mélodies for ? ute or violin with piano accompaniment, providing more Russian music for ? autists to enjoy. My adaptation stays true to the violin arrangement which Proko ? eff himself based on his original version for voice and piano. Harmonic ? ngerings have been added to the ? ute part to create rich harmonic effects similar to those produced in the violin part, and double stops have been adapted to monophonic passages as befits the ? ute".
