Clearance: Leshnoff: Three Minute Chaconne

Commissioned by the Johansen String Competition as the required work for semi-finalists, this work was launched into the string repertoire. Many young string players appreciate the brevity and melody of this work. A string player himself, Leshnoff was very sensitive to the technical demands of the piece. This work is frequently performed as an encore and exists in three versions: violin, viola or cello.
