Hmmmm an interesting NTT to be sure. At first, I thought it might be Bartok, given some of the folky turns in the tune. But then I realized it was way too mellow for Bartok. Then the slightly jazzy harmonies brought to mind Piazzolla, but this is maybe because I just conducted something by him.
Now if I wanted to split the difference between Bartok and Piazzolla, and I wanted to come up with a piece for violin and piano, I'd go with Enescu, who wrote three violin sonatas at the turn of the 20th c. However, I don't think this is any of them. Plus, I know that Joseph has been trying to do a little more of a normie turn lately.
"Half-monk, half-guttersnipe" has me at a bit of a loss. Unless it's Poulenc. Final answer.
