First movement slaps, I like the theme and there are good harmonies, it lends itself to creating a lot of colors on the piano. I'm saving this to come back to listen more to the whole thing
It's interesting to me that in this early piece there are trademark rhythmic and melodic motives that you still hear in his very late works. Overall, the style here is gracious, elegant, and rather spare. It's not ridiculously difficult. I love the way the harmonies "tighten" into pretty sharp dissonance, and then "loosen" into an almost tonal feel. And while there may be a 2nd Viennese School presence here, there's also some Hindemith and an undefinable "American" feeling to it, like Jack Beeson or David Diamond. Nice piece!
Dear Helma, could you please also perform pieces by Armenian composers of the 20th and 21st century. I have discovered Aram Khachaturian, Arno Babadjanian, Eduard Mirzoyan, Edvard Baghdasaryan, Gazaros Saryan, Togran Mansuryan, Levon Chaushyan, Avet Terteryan and others. I am amazed by their music and admired by their Great Talent. ❤ Would love to hear your performance. Many thanks.
First of all, I'm not the one who performed this, but I'm just the one who posts score video. This recording was recorded by Geoffrey Burleson. I've never heard of some of those composers you‘ve mentioned, so thank you for recommending hidden gems. I'll try to upload the works of Armenian composers as well.
An interesting but unremarkable work. Never heard of Persichetti before but this work is filled with Second Viennese School influences. Perhaps they were an early inspiration for V.P.
Sorry to be pedantic. You just remarked on it. In general I like vp's textural clarity. Vague comment I know, but that's my impression from the little I've heard of his stuff

Same here

I can here a melody in there
I am discovering a new composer and I guess like his music 😍
I think this sounds amazing!

I'm sorry but what do you mean by V.P?
vincent persichetti @@senortenpiedad8515
whatever you want to say about this piece, his work as a theorist is absolutely remarkable. Good stuff
