The inspiration to compose a piano duet came about at the First Young Artists' Piano Duo Concert on May 4, 2008. While listening to the talent of young pianists performing a variety of musical compositions, I became intrigued by the sound of the duet ensembles.
Â
In July, I was invited to attend The First International Piano Music Festival Gala Concerts presented by the Kurosawa Piano Music Foundation. After hearing several of the extraordinary musical talents, I decided to compose a duet, RED CAPTIVATION.
Â
The duet begins with danceable and popular Latin style rhythms, incorporating 7th and 9th chord harmonies. The middle section has a slower sequential melody accompanied by extended arpeggios and scale-like passages. It concludes with the original rhythms and melody in a new key.
Â
RED CAPTIVATION lures the listener with the color of imagination and emotion. Both PRIMO & SECONDO parts have rhythmic quarter-note triplet passages with a jazzy style. There are three key changes.
Â
This is a fun and enjoyable piece for intermediate students and particularly attractive to audiences for recitals and other piano events. Â
Â
Thank you to Alex and Yoko Kurosawa for their support and interest in my music. Â
Â
Special thanks to Dr. Sondra Clark for her inspiration and encouragement - to her this piece is dedicated.
