Sheet Music: ScorePiano Quartet : for violin, viola, cello and piano / Harry Sdraulig.by Harry Sdraulig (2023)
|
Product details
This piano quartet was commissioned by Rod and Elizabeth King for premiere performance at the 2023 Bendigo Chamber Music Festival. It is in seven distinct movements, each of which could almost be considered a standalone piece within an overall narrative arch, analogous to a thread of separate tracks on an EP:
I. Prologue
II. Reverie
III. Caprice
IV. Waltz
V. Chorale
VI. Romanza
VII. Epilogue
There are some divergences in creative approach in comparison to my previous works. The first movement, Prologue, is an exact transcription of a piano improvisation I recorded in August 2022. The second movement, Reverie, balances pulsing repetition against flickering unpredictability and chromaticism. The third and fourth movements - Caprice and Waltz - are fast and exploratory in their textural and harmonic variety. The final three movements - Chorale, Romanza and Epilogue - bask in an unashamedly direct and emotional melodicism which guides the work towards its warm and optimistic conclusion.
