Piano - Grade 4-5

SKU: ET.PNO68

Composed by Richard Lane. Contemporary. Composed 1972, 1977, 1986. Duration 7 minutes, 15 seconds. Editions BIM #PNO68. Published by Editions BIM (ET.PNO68).

ISBN 9790207009289.

The 3 Impromptus by Richard Lane are excellent examples of a composer in full possession of his craft, an accomplished musician capable of writing beautiful music at any level of difficulty.
Lane composed Impromptu I (no specified dedicatee but most likely written for one of his students) in December 1972 at the age of 39.
The Impromptu II is dated June 1977 and was written for Eric Neumann who writes: [...] This Impromptu II written for me was a graduation present. I had studied with Richard Lane for three years, starting with composition. After my piano teacher retired, “Dick agreed to teach me piano to prepare for college auditions. With his support, I was accepted at the Eastman School of Music, his alma mater. The work was written as his impression of my finger dexterity in the fast sections and my contemplative spirit in the slower section.
The Impromptu III was written 9 years later (Oct. 1986) and is dedicated to Dahwei Kuo, most certainly also a Richard Lane student. A light, elegant piece with an impish sense of humor and some technical challenges thrown in for good measure.
The numerous unpublished piano works (including those for 2 pianos or 4 hands) by Richard Lane, composer and pianist, are all marvelous gems to be discovered as we proceed with the exclusive Editions Bim publications planned for the coming years.

UPC: 680160669745. 9 x 12 inches.

Felder weds a string quartet with pre-recorded track for a contemplative, contemporary performance piece. Netivot was commissioned by New Music USA, made possible by annual program support and/or endowment gifts from Mary Flagler Cary Charitable Trust, Helen F. Whitaker Fund, Aaron Copland Fund for Music, and the New York State Council on the Arts. Felder: The overall title refers to spiritual pathways, connections among many identifiable nodal points, or regions, each one a continuity of experiencing, not an aim in itself. The first movement works with powers of concentration and fine attention; the second movement responds to an unfolding metaphoric, imagistic landscape as a consequent of the first movement and begins to develop rudimentary song from an intonation of specific scale points and formants--musical objects as things arise and disappear; and in the last movement, the linear becomes vertical in two chorales; The third movement's title refers to pillars of cloud and of fire. Each region has its own feel, but all of the individual phrases and materials are made of the same basic stuff. (Edge of the Center, June, 2016).
