Product details
My first Piano Sonata and Piano Concerto were both written for,
dedicated to and premiered by Michael Keiran Harvey. Since 1991
Harvey has presented the Piano Sonata around the globe, and won
the Ivo Pogorelich International Piano Competition while playing
that work.
Following the premiere of the Piano Concerto in 1997, Michael
asked me to write a second sonata, to be premiered at the 1998
Sydney Festival. I wanted the new work to have a far more solid
structure than the first sonata, which evolves organically over
its entire span.
After a declamatory introduction, the first movement is in two
clear halves. The first relies on a perpetually roving left hand
part over which a variety of gestural material is developed. The
second is a slowly repeating 'ground bass' which accompanies
bell-like sonorities and free-form melody in the right hand.
The second movement features fast motoric rhythms with a strong
jazz influence and jarring syncopations. The centre of the
movement drops suddenly to half tempo to explore the 'dreamier'
side of the same material before returning with a climactic
recapitulation.
