Alkanliszt piano sonata

[@alkanliszt]

Improvised piano sonata in four movements. Idyll 0:00 We find ourselves amongst pastoral scenes of peace and serenity, as the piano luxuriate in romantic harmonies and gentle rocking accompaniments. The placid dreaminess does not last however; the key falls by a third, from D major to Bb minor, as reality returns in Funerailles 3:49 A funeral procession is on the move, with falling melodic motifs, Lisztian bass tremolandi and the sound of distant church bells. The soft bass bells are counterpointed with pealing in the treble. The bass tremolandi swell into a section consisting of augmented harmonies, but there is no resolution and the harmony is left suspended querulously. Intermezzo 8:53 This brief interlude begins with an unexpected resolution of the augmented harmonies into F# major. This marks the key further falling by a third to commence the new movement. Orage 10:15 The final movement is in three sections - Orage opens with a thunderclap of octaves as the storm breaks with a deluge of minor key left hand triplets. Once again the key has descended by a third, albeit a minor third this time, from F# major to Eb minor. The storm continues, with grumbling passagework, powerful chords and towering arpeggios pressing forward until a sudden summery interlude marks a rainbow in the sky. Any relief is short-lived as a cadenza-like passage ushers in ghosts ships and spectres as we prepare for the denouement: the Marche a l'enfer, in which armies of monstrous beasts, zombies and semi-human creations march onwards to the ultimate destiny. Dante's Inferno and the Devil await.

Very rich, contrasted and expressive Sonata, conceived in a perfectly idiomatic Lisztian-Brahmsian musical language, and satisfying pianistic technique. Impressive moments as in the grandeur of invention in the second and final movement especially demonstrates...bravissimo! Congratulations and thanks a lot for the condivision!
