Humoresque and Fugue in B flat major

 

Humoresque and Fugue in B flat major - (2012)    

for piano

 

The lilt of 6/8 can be infectious. Here triads as arpeggios trade hands, and a single-voiced texture alternates with three-part statements. 

 

 

 

The fugue subject's acciaccatura on the raised second serves later, a ground for the dalliance in some more distant tonal domains. The familiar B-A-C-H motive finds its way into this jaunty fugue as an occasional countersubject. Some rubato in leading to the new statements is stylistically advised.
