It’s a brave musician who, armed only with a piccolo, is willing to walk onto a stage strewn with the assorted weaponry of a determined percussionist. One’s confidence can be shaken to the point of asking, who is the soloist here, anyway?

But the rewards for courage are great: where else will you find bongos, a harpsichord and a piccolo performing together? How many times do you come across a military march in 3/4 time? In what other circumstances would Goldilocks intrude on the Seven Dwarves? What more could you ask?

Percussion required (one player): marimba, glockenspiel, field drum, bongos, suspended cymbal with yarn sticks, sleigh bells, maracas (1 or 2, one hand).

Piccolos required: one (1).

The score assumes a five-octave double-manual harpsichord, but adjustments can be made to accommodate a single without appreciable harm to the music.

The audio file accompanying this blurb features snippets of the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 6th and 7th movements.  

Performance time is approximately 12 minutes. Good luck!

Austrian composer Fridolin Dallinger has contributed a piece to the small repertoire for cello and harpsichord outside the Baroque era, simply by arranging the barytone part from his sonata for barytone and harpsichord from 1974. This piece is of particular interest for all players who are equally at home in music of all centuries and epochs.
