Modern classical music, cello/piano duets. 1,2 -- by David Sanford, action-packed 3,4,5 -- Sonata by Samuel Barber, quite 'classical' sounding 6,7,8,9 -- Elliott Carter. More abstract but not over the edge 10,11,12,13 -- Augusta Read Thomas. Quite modern. 1,2-- An action-packed piece: tense, hard piano and stiff, vicious cello. Part 2 starts quiet, but both get raucous. 3- Dramatic, sweeping. Fast-paced, very "classical" feeling. Touches of slow, dark romance in the middle. 4- Sad. Super perky fast segment in the middle, though. 5- A wandering tunefulness, mostly mid/fast. Rumbly intro. Grumpily dramatic, satisfying ending. 6- Prickly clockwork piano gives way to bold, sweeping cello 7- Percolating, sunny. 8- A mid/fast moroseness, forceful 9- Busy; lots of quick, criss-crossing lines. Gets vicious but ends surprisingly quietly 10- Spiky fast. Poking piano; plucky cello 11- Slow, floating, a little unsettling. Cobwebs. 12- Snappy, fast 13- Slow, questioning. Ends on an extremely high, glassy note (and 13 seconds of silence). | ||
