The simple, uncomplicated texture, in which the composer brings the violin to the fore, does not, however, mean that the music is easily accessible to the performer, who has to play at a very fast tempo, with a frequent use of double stops stylized in the folk manner and with varied articulation.
All these musical devices form a test of virtuosity for the performer that only a virtuoso-composer can set. [Ludwik Erhardt's commentary to the publication: Grażyna Bacewicz, Two Obereks for Violin and Piano, ''Violin Minatures'' series (No. 96), Cracow 1971)
