SKU: A0.924865
Composed by Stanley M. Hoffman. This edition: pdf, streaming. 20th Century, Contemporary. Score. 4 pages. Stanleymhoffman.com #3914629. Published by stanleymhoffman.com (A0.924865).I wrote "Piano Piece (1986)" while I was a composition student of the late Martin Boykan at Brandeis University, two years into my program towards a PhD in Composition. I recall that Professor Boykan rather liked this composition once it was done, and he could play it beautifully. In addition to being a formidable composer, he was also a virtuosic pianist.
This work is intended both as an homage to Brahms and to Schoenberg, the rhythms being strongly influenced by those of Brahms, and the musical language being ruled by Schoenberg's twelve-tone system. Schoenberg loved the music of Brahms, and wrote about in his text, "Brahms, the Progressive," as in musically progressive, forward thinking.
"Piano Piece (1986)" also shows the influence of composers such as the music of Aaron Copland, and that of my previous composition teacher, the late Arthur Berger, in its obsession with the registration of pitches.
Thank you for your time and attention.
Stanley M. Hoffman, PhD.
