Piano Sonata — Charles Griffes
Charles Griffes (1884-1920). U.S. composer. Generally known as an “impressionist” (but you may know by now that I think music and art can be, and often is, overcategorized.) This is his only piano sonata. There is no question that Debussy, etc. had a strong influence on him as did Scriabin. But his music is his own..recognizable, I think.
“Kazuko” played in an abandoned tunnel — Pharoah Sanders
Blog notes
I really want to start writing more on this blog, but I’m not finding the time. I hope to contribute more analysis and commentary in the future.
In the meantime, imagine you are walking past 2 McDonald Road and you hear music…Perhaps you will stop and listen…
