Product Description

Folk Dance In D is written for two pianos with four hands, and has an eastern European or Middle Eastern character which involves the use of scales not common in the western European musical tradition. The main theme is based on the octatonic scale and its main motive is A G# D E flat treated in forward and retrograde motions. Further, the main theme is treated in an imitative manner. The second theme is somewhat an octatonic scale, but involves the use of motivic inversion in its imitation sections. Second theme's main motive is C B C D Flat D Flat C E Flat D Flat C B C C.

This piece is suitable for concert use and possibly for film use, but has a strong educational use in that it explores different scales and counterpoint in many forms, including retrograde, inversions and many others. Composers such as Bela Bartok and Olivier Messiaen explore octatonic scales and other modes in their compositions, typically in Bartok's Six Volumes of Microcosmos for piano and Messiaen's L'Ascension for organ.
