This piece has 3 movements: I. Allegro II. Rubato - Andante moderato III. Presto Performers: Frances Renzi (piano) Charles Bernard (cello) Lev Polyakin (violin)
I was out driving one day and this piece came on the radio. I had to sit in my car until it was over so I could find out what it was. I immediately bought a recording.
Had the privilege to hear the first two movements live. Such an incredible piece of work that I am constantly coming back to. Thank you for the transcription!
THIS is the finest modern ragtime. Better than Wm. Bolcom, better than Carter Pann’s _Cheesegrater,_ far better than my meager attempts. And what a performance! I can only imagine how many hours went into this. Fun to see the handwriting in the score.
@@supasayajinsongoku4464 Exciting? The Walrus in Memoriam by Terry Riley. Very much in this style, with a hint of minimalism that creeps in as it goes on.
@@supasayajinsongoku4464 Another great piece I got to play this year, Mysterious Pond by Lior Navok for piano, flute, and oboe. It has so many notes, but it sounds so beautiful.
I seldom hear a recording or performance by a piano trio in which the violin is heard clearly rather than often being obscured by the piano and sometimes cello, also. I have no idea why performers and engineers do not address that. I realize that there is much interplay among the instruments here, and it is not a work for violin solo, but I believe the piece would be much more satisfying if the violin were more prominent on its rhythmic and melodious figures. (btw. I am not a violinist!) A one-pound violin playing one note at a time vs. a 1,000 pound piano playing 4-6 notes at a time is a challenging problem to solve, but it must be adjusted to for the music to make sense. One instrument's fortissimo is closer to another instrument's mezzo-forte, especially with bass notes in the piano.
