ELEGIE UND TOTENTANZ Piano 9'.
Peter Ware
The Elegie, shifting between monophonic and polyphonic two part dialog, imparts a
sacred quality similar to Gregorian chant. Accompaniment chords serve as quiet
answers to the phrases. The Totentanz is a dance of the body after death and
is the last play of the muscles. In moderate triple meter, Totentanz
features staccato articulations that give it a perky and playful character. Opening
with a rhythmic motive of four eighth notes, this motive is subsequently marked with an
embellished grace note. and spun out in a Baroque fashion. This "single
affection" pervades the entire fabric. Use of a motor rhythm sustains a great
sense of momentum, until the ending where it winds down majestically. 6

Free Score of Piscataway for solo piano
Utilizing the extreme ranges of the piano in a virtuoso display, this piece is named after
the Piscataway river in Virginia. Colourful flourishes contrast with long-breathed
melodies; and although metered, the rhythm is perceived as free, symbolic of the
river's rapid current and still eddies. As numerous sustained trills and tremolos
shimmer on, dynamic balance and endurance are essential. Score 11 p.
