Humoresque and Fugue in A major

 

Humoresque and Fugue in A major - (2011)    

for piano

 

Light-hearted thirds with decorative appoggiaturas make the opening gambit, the long phrase then repeated an octave below. An answering statement contrasts with it, and the simple three-part form rushes to its gentle conclusion.

 

 

The fugue echoes the harmonic flavors of the humoresque, and restatements appear throughout the range of the keyboard, including a short dalliance altering the statement into the submediant harmonic minor -- but just for a moment.
