Dusk
Christina Rusnak
About this work:
Dusk, like an actual sunset, is about the transformation of color over time. The piece began under my fingers, but evolved into a trio for piano, violin and clarinet. Upon its completion, I missed it; my tangible connection to the work as a performer no longer existed. So I created a piano version which can be performed by a wide range of skill levels.
Version: Piano Solo
Year composed: 2008
Duration: 00:04:30
Ensemble type: Keyboard:Piano
Instrumentation: 1 Piano
Instrumentation notes: The piece does not exude complexity, or sophisticated technique, but requires the performer to understand and execute the art of nuance. Vibrantly intense, the piece explores shifting polytonal harmonies, marked time and fluid melodies.
