Appalachia Waltz is a piece composed by Mark OConnor for unaccompanied violin which gained fame as the title track from the album featuring OConnor, Yo-Yo Ma, and Edgar Meyer. The Sony Classical release remained for many months in the top ten of Billboard Magazines Classical music chart. OConnor originally composed the piece as a solo for unaccompanied violin in 1993 before he brought it to the trio when compiling material for their album. Here, in its original form, "Appalachia Waltz" is just the way OConnor performs it in his solo
concerts. With the musical influences coming from Scandinavian and Appalachian folk fiddling, OConnor creates two independent lines while playing double-stops surprising the listener who is hearing just one fiddle. It is one of OConnors most beautiful pieces. The music is suited for advanced and intermediate levels.
Original music printed from the composers manuscripts.
