Melibokus

Melibokus is a mountain in Germany. Although it not very large, the view from the summit allows one to see both towns and wilderness. The piece reflects being able to look down on the various scenes as well as the serenity of being alone atop a mountain peak. The piece must be played organically, especially in the unaccompanied sections. That is to say, a certain freedom in tempo should exist to create maximum expression to the phrase. Dynamic shaping of each gesture, especially the longer notes, are vital. In this respect, Melibokus is an etude for expression. Appropriate for both recital and contest.
