Summary of This Score
This pianoforte score offers a true musical journey in eleven tableaux, conceived as a suite where each movement has its own identity of tempo, articulation, and atmosphere. The whole forms a coherent narrative, alternating tension and release, rhythmic energy and inner singing, making it a particularly interesting medium to work on constructing a discourse at the piano: phrasing, breathing, management of sound layers, and continuity between very different moods.
The content unfolds as follows: I Sostenuto - Misurato - Prestissimo; II Mesto, rigido e ceremoniale; III Allegro con spirito; IV Tempo di valse (poco vivace - "... the barrel organ "); V Rubato. Lamentoso; VI Allegro molto capriccioso; VII Cantabile, molto legato; VIII Vivace. Energico; IX (BĂ©la BartĂłk in memoriam) Adagio. Mesto - Allegro maestoso; X Vivace. Capriccioso; XI (Omaggio a Girolamo Frescobaldi) Andante misurato e tranquillo. This variety of characters allows addressing complementary pianistic challenges: rhythmic precision in the lively movements, control of legato and cantabile in the singing sections, mastery of rubato in the freer episodes, not to mention the sense of contrasts and transitions that gives the work its full strength.
