Lock, stock, and barrel : for piano / Jan-Peter de Graaff
Other authors:
Graaff, Jan-Peter de
(Composer)
Description:
Lock, stock, and barrel is a two-episode suite for solo piano:
The first episode "…between the devil and the deep blue sea…" (a dilemma with two outcomes that are equally worse), is a highly virtuoso movement where the musical dilemma lies between regular and irregular rhythmic patterns on a perpetuum mobile of endless quavers. Instruction for the performer is to play this 'as funky as possible'.
The second episode "…sour grapes…" depicts a deep ironical sense of dissatisfaction and disappointment in the shape of a french overture by using polytonality, clashing dissonance and a high sense of drama. Instruction for the performer is to 'unleash their inner drama queen'.
