A TRIPARTITE SONATA for Flute & Piano
A Sonata in Three Movements
by Daniel Kelley 40055
A TRIPARTITE SONATA by Daniel Kelley is a captivating sonata in three movements for Flute and Piano, showcasing the full expressive range of the flute, from dazzling virtuosity to lyrical sensuality. This dynamic and emotionally rich piece offers a compelling journey for performers and audiences alike.
Premiered by renowned flutist Marianne Gedigian at the 2006 National Flute Association Convention, the sonata has quickly gained recognition as a standout addition to the contemporary flute repertoire.
Recorded by Jenni Olson on the album, Dreams of Birds: "For me, A Tripartite Sonata is a virtuosic three-movement work for flute and piano. The first movement is playful and soaring, standing in contrast to the expressive second movement. The final movement is a whirlwind and a lot of fun to play. It is characterized by its flourishes and driving energy to the end.”
As reviewed in "I Care If You Listen" by Matt Webber: ..."Movement I begins softly and in a rather abstract, nearly atonal manner, but as it grows in volume, it is also suddenly a rag, full of jazzy harmonies and well-familiar syncopations. (It reminded me strongly of Jean-Pierre Rampal’s renditions of Scott Joplin.) This burst of color is unrelated to most of the body of the piece, which is a sort of late-Romantic style meander, but the Joplin imitation returns in full force at the very end of the movement. ..... the third movement is full of excitement, with a very driving rhythm from the piano and an energetic, forceful melodic argument from the flute. That tune has real shape, too: several times, the flute gradually approaches its upper registers, leaping and bounding all the way, and when the climactic moment is reached, with a brief flourish, the effect is gripping, even electrifying. The finale is even more energetic than the body of the piece, and the ultimate, upward run is like a double exclamation point at the end of a sentence in all caps"
