Piano Solo - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1232268 Composed by Igor Korneitchouk. 21st Century,Chamber,Contemporary. Score. 38 pages. Studio at the Post #827954. Published by Studio at the Post (A0.1232268). Duration: 24 minutes, 32 pp. Description: Triptych for Piano, “Phoenix” invokes the fabulous Arabian bird and emblem of immortality, who—after centuries of life—is consigned to the fire only to be reborn from the ashes in all the vigor of youth and beauty. The piece captures the life cycle of this celebrated rara avis in a triptych arrangement of three “panels.” Entitled “Embers”, the first panel depicts the transformative energy of a lively hearth fire throwing off sparks, erupting with sudden pops of pine pitch, crumbling into hot dusty heaps. The central “Elegy” reaches back to the comforts of traditional piano sound, arriving like the work of memory. The final panel of the triptych is punningly entitled “Meter-morphosis”, linking Ovidian myths of transformation with the musical measure of the bar line. The piece is in three movements: Embers (still glowing) - Elegy - Meter-morphosis.
