Description
This piece was composed for Gerhard Hase of Stuttgart. The music is lightweight, as expected from the title, and is neo-classically pitch-centric in the style of Hindemith. That said, the first movement is very reminiscent of the first movement of Gordon Jacob’s Partita. Overall, the music is moderately challenging technically and very appealing, while ascending to D5. This piece deserves to be better-known.
