Composer(s): Vittorio GianniniPowerfully expansive and meticulously detailed, Vittorio Giannini’s VARIATIONS ON A CANTUS FIRMUS is a major work of American piano literature whose a rchitecture furthers the monumental ground bass forms of Bach and Brahms, with harmony and textures akin to Scriabin and Rachmaninoff. Ingeniously constructed, the 24 variations are grouped into four movements: Moderato, Aria, Toccata, and the intriguingly-titled final Interlude which continuously reimagine the theme in a variety of characters, moods, and colors.Publisher: Theodore Presser CompanyFormat: PerformanceUPC: 680160693481ISBN: 9781491138090Item No: 160-00225Publication Date: 8/1/2024 Show more
