Slavia - Jan Van der Roost

Jan Van der Roost originally composed each and every note of 'Slavia'
(as in case in 'Puszta', 'Rikudim' and 'A Highland Rhapsody').
Consequently, 'Slavia' does not contain any arrangement of existing
tunes, but is an original composition 'in the style of...'. The
introduction has an ABA structure and exposes a broad melodic line.
Following a short cadenza, there is a second movement in a fast and
fiery tempo. The tempi increase, gradually culminating in an exciting
final climax, making this 'Slavonic Rhapsody' a spell-binding
experience to the very last note.
