Christina naughton whyy

It opens with an introduction marked Allegro maestoso that alternates brilliant runs from the first pianist with quiet responses from the second. The music leaps ahead at the rondo proper and offers two virtuoso pianists a chance to display their abilities. There is quiet secondary material along the way that Chopin marks semplice, but the principal impression this music makes is of brilliance: it is full of fast runs often set in the ringing high register of the first pianist , melodic lines passed between the two players, and full and sonorous textures.

After all this brilliance, the Rondo drives a massive, resounding conclusion. Paul Schoenfield, a professor of composition at the University of Michigan, has been particularly interested in combining quite different styles and traditions: his music can simultaneously be derived from jazz, classical music, klezmer music, popular songs and many other styles , and these are combined with a great deal of energy and skill.

This music boils over with energy across its four-minute span. The lower voice often lays down a furious ostinato as the upper contributes a wild melodic energy of its own; at other times the melodic line moves easily between the two players as Boogie rushes to an almost breathless close.
