Ritornelli ·

Composer: Heinioe, Mikko
Instrument: Piano
Publisher: Fennica Gehrman
Description:
Ritornelli opens with a slow sostenuto introduction, leading to a fast movement where three traits are made to alternate: a quirky, rhythmic staccato, expansive arpeggios, and an obstinate march-like theme. Ritornelli fragments are drawn from all these elements, allowed to grow to fruition and then make way for more to follow.
