Composed by Adrian Gagiu. This edition: pdf, streaming. 20th Century, Contemporary. Score and parts. 95 pages. Adrian Gagiu #5213345. Published by Adrian Gagiu (A0.1004716).Piano Quartet in F major in neoclassical style, loosely following the general outline of the Baroque sonata and the rhythmical patterns of the Baroque suite. A little manifesto for melody and striving for serenity, as opposed to the esthetics of avant-garde music.
After the shock of the first harsh chord, the first movement (Andante molto sostenuto, un poco maestoso) wipes away all tension, in search for a renewed serenity, making use of allemande rhythmic patterns. The second movement (Allegro moderato), a scherzo-sonata form with courante rhythmic formulas and two trios, follows without a break.
The third movement (Andante con moto e cantabile) is the emotional core of the composition, starting restrained and sad, with Romanian influences and a sarabande rhythm, but followed miraculously by a grand, ecstatic section.
The Finale is a developed, expansive rondo (Allegro non troppo) with subtle Romanian influences, making use of bourrée and gavotte rhythms, plus minuet and gigue in the exalted coda.
Appropriate for students of chamber music, for learning about the neoclassical style and textures. Total duration: 18 min. The audio clip is the third movement. Performing Rights Organization: SOCAN.
