Beethoven Variants (12:20) | Purchase
Piano
Beethoven Variants became an intriguing idea while playing the opening page of the Allegro Movement of his Pf. Sonata #4. I began improvising in a similar vein, but with some influence of music from more recent times. Hmmm? Wonder how it would be to extend it as ‘tho progressing through influences of more recent times. Beginning on page 2, I attempted to write in a compatible style then gradually come forward in time. Feeling B. looking over my shoulder the whole time, then bringing his hand firmly on my shoulder when I reached the whole tone scale, thought ‘I had better wrap this up.’

Clarity (Ballet)

Thank you! I must admit, I had not touched Sonata since Camilo and I were working at in August/September, and I am getting it back in my brain for rehearsals with the dancers next week. It is so beautiful and rich Paul, we are lucky to be working with your brilliant music! ********** Truly my best, and let’s talk about more of your fabulous scores we might be able to work with!
