Moderato and Nocturne

Par BRITTEN BENJAMIN. This musical work, Moderato And Nocturne is from the rejected work Sonatina Romantica . Although Britten himself rejected the whole work, his Trustees felt that the first 2 movements (the Moderato And Nocturne) have both 'character and charm' and could play an inportant and useful role in teaching pieces. / Niveau : Assez Facile / Répertoire / Piano

I wrote the first movement of my Sommersonate in the summer of 2010, and though a self-contained work, it called out for continuation or a companion piece. I imagine the first movement, marked moderato, to be bright, free, weightless, transparent, flooded in sunlight. In contrast, the newly composed second movement is nocturnal and cryptic, with a restrained glow. A Romance, a (summer) night piece. Jörg Widmann / Violon Et Piano

Each contains 10 pieces from a diverse range of composers and include everything students need to take their exams, including technical exercises and supporting texts for sight-reading, ear tests and general musicianship questions./ Recueil / Piano
