Dances from the Balkan

Here the composer has arranged Southern Slav, Albanian and Bulgarian music material. The triple time, asymmetric 5/8, 7/8, 9/8 (2+2+2+3) bars require thorough grounding in rhythm. The first movement is a rondo, the second a trio while the third one, displaying strong burlesque features, is again a rondo. Moderately difficult.
