The first place at Senior International category in 2020 US Golden
Key Music Festival Piano Composition Competition.
Composer's Notes
The creation is inspired by the wonderful and eye-opening music
tour in Vienna.
This composition offers two contrasting elements. One
presents a
feisty, energetic and full of animation pace that is playful and
highly
spirited. And the other is laid-back and relaxed as if someone was
slowly
stretching or exercising while lying down on a lawn in the park. In
any case,
something must have happened that day in the summer. One
would have to use imagination to see what it was.
Reviews
This is a virtuosist piece, no doubt about it.
- Antonio Ruiz
Director del Concurso de Composición para Piano Fidelio
The composition also is written very well from
a pianist point of view. It
offers a great variety of technical difficulties –
staccato notes, octaves,
scales, arpeggios, repeated chords, glissandi, jumps
and skips of all sorts
– the elements with which an excellent pianist could
show off his/her
technique in a concert hall. The music is utmost exciting and
quite
compelling to listen to. This composition is complete and could be played
as is in any concert.
