Topic: Pointillist piece with extra resonance & sostenuto
Here is a piano piece from 1964 using the gestural language of the period, Dennis Riley's Piano Piece No. 3. Dennis Riley (1943-1999) was an American composer whose style extends from Webernesque miniatures to a later embrace of neo-Romanticism. In this piece, he carefully notated the use of the sostenuto pedal to enhance the resonance of the piano. Kudos to Pianoteq for implementing the sostenuto pedal correctly!
The piece is accompanied by visuals generated from texts by English poet William Blake (1757-1827).
