Moonscape
Roxburgh, Edwin
About the work
The piece is parked ‘contemplating but expressive. The first section is marked cantabile, the second ‘dark and distant, but relentless’, and the third ‘very distant’.
First Performance: June 1996, Spectrum Launch, Royal College of Music
Technical notes
The opening is slow moving. This is followed by a passage with fast notes alternating between the hands, before a concluding section in shifting triplet chords.
