Product Description

This advanced work is the first of a collection of Fantasies or miniature tone poems for piano . The piece is in three sections and has numerous influences, some Impressionistic, some Romantic and it always is difficult to try and fuse these styles while keeping them congruent. 

The shimmering opening portrays a fairie being chased by something or someone, which seems to gets closer and closer to her.  This section ends with a series of dominant seventh/nine chords and a rallentando.  The slower middle segment introduces a new melody and is where she is able to hide and catch her breath which then segues (via an accelerando) leading to her discovery and the chase resumes until her escape at the very end (I hope).

The challenging left hand is the main engine for the melody, which is stated in the first measure and is presented again and again in different keys and accompaniment styles.    The arpeggiated figures are influences of Ravel and Liszt but I tried to imbue it with a sense of delicacy even in some of the more powerful moments.  This produces a light, which I imagine would coruscate in the evening forest.  

This work is appropriate for all pianist.  The duration is approximately 6 minutes and 35 seconds.
