Waltz in A Minor

David Karp

The moving melody of this ensemble piano piece sings a melancholy song in the secondo, with sustained, four-measure phrasing. The theme is lightly answered with dancing eighth notes in the primo, which add depth of expression. A countermelody is introduced in time for primo to take over the theme. Consider this waltz as a wonderful invitation to experience the sweep of 3/4 meter, and its dramatic effects.
