Humoresque and Fugue in A flat major - (2012) ![](images/01_Little_Green_Dot.gif)
for piano
The raised fourth and appoggiatura in the top voice tease parallel fourths, placing D natural and D flat into the harmonic vocabulary early on. The D of course leads to the dominant, and yet its occurrences are not all in service to functional harmony. The texture is mostly two-part, breaking into three for the episodic materials.

The fugue takes the rhythmic figure of the earlier head motive, the dotted rhythm now more evident. Light-hearted and with some rubato suggested, it bubbles along to a simple final cadence in octaves.
