Piano - difficult SKU: HL.49046062 For solo piano. Composed by Gregory Spears. Sheet music. Edition Schott. Classical. Softcover. Composed 2018. 20 pages. Duration 235 seconds. Schott Music #ED30285. Published by Schott Music (HL.49046062). ISBN 9781540041425. UPC: 888680899875. 9.0x12.0x0.095 inches.Troika is a Russian word meaning 'set of three' or a 'sled pulled by three horses.' In many places in the score there are three rhythmic layers working at different speeds to create a sense of forward motion. Sometimes these layers create a sense of a headlong rush, at other points the music glides along gently. The pianist may find places in the score that evoke other aspects of a troika ride: the winter wind, snow flurries, sleigh bells, horses galloping in tandem, bumps in the path, stars, or perhaps even a moonrise. The work is in three sections with a final coda that repeats material from the opening.Pedaling guidelines are included at various points in the piece.
