Composed by David Fraser. 20th Century,21st Century,Classical,Romantic Period. Score. 5 pages. David Fraser #968430. Published by David Fraser (A0.1384069).

The inspiration for Hommages III. Sonata No. 1 ‘Gothic’, Movement 2 comes from the German fairy tale Hansel and Gretel by the Brothers Grimm. The music begins with Hansel and Gretel walking into the witch’s house made of gingerbread, cake, and candy. The children have a sense of unease and fright once they enter the house, which is demonstrated in the music by the eeriness and darkness of the harmonies. The term oscuro is found at the beginning of the music – this is the Italian word for dark. The repeat, which begins at measure 25, is marked sempre sotto voce which translates to always under the voice, meaning always in a hushed tonal quality and dynamic volume. This section represents the children trying to tip-toe out of the house without the witch taking notice. The repeat is almost identical to the beginning section, with the exception of measures 39 and 40 which have ties in the right hand; the similar measures 15 and 16 in the first section do not have these ties. The right-hand trills in measures 53 through 55 symbolize the children attempting to quietly turn a key to unlock the door, which would lead them to freedom.

This is the second movement only of the Sonata which is the third piece from 'Hommages: Suite pour le Piano'. 5 pages. ISMN 979-0-800277-00-9.
