Piano - Grade 5 SKU: ET.PNO104
Composed by Richard Lane. Contemporary. Editions BIM #PNO104. Published by Editions BIM (ET.PNO104). ISBN 9790207009784.
Persistently melodic, with constant forward movement, accompanied by densely chromatic harmonies and many polyrhythmic sections, creating an intensely dramatic work.
In 1975 Lane composed his Piano Sonata 4 for piano, which he dedicated to his former student and graduate of both the Eastman and Juilliard schools, Karl Tricomi. Lane composed five other works in 1975, including a suite for two pianos, and instrumental and vocal solos. A year later in 1976, Tricomi performed the world premiere of Piano Sonata 4, Piano Sonata 3 as well as Fantasy No. 1 for piano (1976) in an all-Lane concert at Carnegie Hall.
