About this arrangement

Piano, Piano Solo - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1401695 Composed by Robert A. Howard. This edition: audio, pdf. 21st Century, Classical, Contemporary, Contest, Festival, Instructional. Score. 31 pages. Robert A. Howard #984878. Published by Robert A. Howard (A0.1401695). This First Piano Sonata is in three movements. The work is subtitled 'Bells', as each movement explores a different aspect of ringing bell-tones, whilst avoiding any direct reference to, for example, the change-ringing of church bells, or otherwise. The first movement (Chimes) suggests aspects of sonata form, with a ricochet-rhythm first theme based on fifths, and a lyrical second subject. In the ternary form second movement (Requiescat), funereal bells toll and peal in cycles of textural thickening and thinning. The final movement is a relentless perpetual movement of parallel chords and hemiolas, passing through a giant circle of fifths, in the vague manner of a carillon. Duration: 24 minutes.
