After months of a pretty damn annoying compositional block, i finally am back with a fully revised new opus by myself. This is dedicated to my great friend Natalie, who you might know by the username Hsan. Other than being an amazing friend, she also is into music and composing, so i decided to dedicate this latest piece i wrote to her.
A short note about every piece
Number 1: the prelude, a fast paced 4/4 piece with a basso ostinato C on the left hand whilst the right hand handles all the quick harmony changes. A middle section takes us to a more Piazzolla vibe with a quick circle of fifths revolving back to the initial theme, all culminating in jokingful "Hamelinish" chords ending the piece.
Number 2: a short menuet, with a baroque sounding theme accompanied by again jokingful harmonies, defining the jokingful style of Battarino ;P
Number 3: the composer's personal favorite, a slow paced allemande with a melanchonic feel, repeating melodies alternating hands and interesting harmonies bringing the piece towards a slow c minor arpeggio, culminating with a quartal picardi third (i like the sound of that hehe)
Number 4: and at last, to end the short partita, a quick gigue that could easily be mistaken for a Brahms or Chopin piece, with only the last chord taking us back to the usual style of the composer.
In all, it was incredibly fun writing this after months of 0 ideas, and i hope you guys enjoy it as always!
