Three Odd Meters One Piano, Four Hands Intermediate Level Composer Showcase

Pianists and audiences alike will find these imaginative duets immediately appealing. With Poulenc-like playfulness, 3+3+4 combines groups of eighth notes in a rhythmically unconventional way. Players will revel in its wry humor and bright, outgoing manner. Timing: 1:47. A waltz with a 5/8 time signature? Yes! Pentatempo Waltz trips the light fantastic, sweeping across the ballroom with elegance and grace. What a delight to perform in this meter! Timing: 2:54. Two-Timing plays with the similarities and differences between 6/8 and 3/4, with the music shifting between the two meters flexibly and often. Most often the two parts have the same meter, but in a few instances the players must pit 6/8 against 3/4 simultaneously, creating a real situation of "two-timing." Timing: 1:31. This collection makes outstanding recital fare or studio ensemble pieces for intermediate-level pianists with the requisite technical skills and musical imagination.Clark, Sondra is the author of 'Three Odd Meters One Piano, Four Hands Intermediate Level Composer Showcase', published 2004 under ISBN 9780634074011 and ISBN 0634074016.
