ROXANNA PANUFNIK Around Three Corners Piano Trio
This 8'30" piece consists of a gentle lullaby-like theme flanked by three variations, either side, pitched in an almost palindromic/mirror structure (see below!). Each Variation has a mood of its own, incorporating various instrumental effects to emphasize that mood. Variation 1 is a bustling welcome with a reversal of roles as the strings provide the harmony and the piano has the melody. Variation 2 ("In perfect harmony, not...) is marked "disconcerted" as the trio, having welcomed you enthusiastically, are not completely confident about the musical journey they are embarking on.... Variation 3 ("Everyone's prepared") involves everybody preparing their instruments - the piano has pencils jangling on its strings, the violin plays half-col legno, which means that she is using both the hair and the stick of the bow at the same time, and the 'cello is pizzicato (plucked). The mood is more confident, but completely off the rails... At this point the Theme makes its appearance in its true and un-diluted form, as a piano solo. This is followed by Variation 4 ("Pull yourself together!") with a vicious rendition of the Theme. This is counteracted by a romantic and more contemplative Variation 5, leading straight into Variation 6 which completes the palindrome by ending as we began.
Variation 1 fast, up a minor 3rd Variation 2 slow, tonic - reversed intervals Variation 3 fast, down a perfect 4th
Variation 6 fast, up a minor 3rd THEME (tonic)
Variation 5 slow, tonic Variation 4 fast, down a perfect 4th
Hence the title "Around Three corners" - also inspired by the meaning of Triangulus (for whom it was commissioned, by Barnes Music Society) which translates as "From Three Corners". Roxanna Panufnik
