Composed by Moshe S. Knoll. 21st Century,Contemporary,Contest,Festival. Score. 51 pages. ArtsAhimsa #846842. Published by ArtsAhimsa (A0.1253097).
This is a large scale Tryptich, inspired by Debussy's Suite pour le Piano. It was begun in 2021 and it kept being re-written till 2023. I dedicate this Tryptich to the loving memory of the great American Pianist and pedagoge Mr. Beveridge Webster, who was my last teacher at Juilliard. The first piece is a Prelude, playful but not too carefree, the dance-like atmosphere gets interrupted several times by a serious, contemplative Chorale-like passage. The second piece, Nocturno-Fantasia is a desolated landscape of pain and despair, a reflection of the harsh times the human family has had to endure these last three years. The last movement, is a large-Scale Toccata in the Phrygian Mode, using irregular time signatures. This Toccata must be played in strict tempo, to highlight those irregular rhythms. Dies Irae is referenced in both the second and third movements, discreetly, just beneath the surface. This Cycle of three can be performed as a unit, or as three separate pieces. It is designed to give virtuosi a new warhorse for competitions, certainly the Toccata. I do believe this Toccata has great technical value for pianists as an Etude in articulation and rhythm. Beyond this, I hope that this music will express a wide range of human sufferings and aspirations, and that it will deliver an emotional catharsis for all potential listeners. With this composition I am joining the large group of composers who have created New Music these last few years, music testifying to the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
