The opening Adagio serves the purpose of a Prelude to the fugue, while the Fuga itself, a long chorale melody, is characteristic of the German Reformation. The Largo and Allegro assai, however, follow the inspiration of previous sonatas being influenced by the Italian sonate da chiesa with its slow-fast-slow-fast order of movements. The serene Adagio, preparing the mood for the Fuga, is well suited for transcription to plucked strings because of its chordal nature.
The predominant feature is the use of dotted rhythms and the development in places of four part harmony, very convenient for guitar or lute. From this noble motif emerges a massive fugal exploration comprising four separate sections of thematic entries, the second in stretto where subject and countersubject are brought close together , the third with the main theme inverted, and a climax of close-packed polyphonic intensity.

Largo , in F major, serves to release fugal tension. Against the gently flowing semiquavers of the melody, Bach added a bass line, again ideal for plucked string interpretation. Soon afterwards he decided this would be his future career. The twentieth century witnessed a profound consolidation of guitar sonata traditions with composers such as Torroba, Ponce, Castelnuovo-Tedesco, Berkeley, Bennett, Tippett, and Brouwer contributing to the genre.
Thus the first movement opens Allegro energico, with distinctive melodic and rhythmic patterns evolving into more complex figurations.

Further thematic elements emerge until an episode, Tempo primo, reminds us of the opening motif though with increasing intricacy. Then comes an extended Agitato section of great intensity, leading to a finale marked by repeated pedal notes in the treble with the theme in the bass, as heard at the outset of the piece. A tranquil lento coda concludes. A theme high up on the fingerboard, with answering chords begins the extended slow movement, Adagio molto.
This develops into a melodic statement on the lower strings responded to by dissonant two-part chords. The momentum develops steadily, Con moto, to arrive at vivid chords, reminiscent of the Agitato of the first movement.

The final movement, Presto, risoluto energico, is a synthesis of previous melodic and rhythmic elements both expressed and implied. A central section exploits the traditional concept of treble melody and bass accompaniment, though here the technique deploys an entirely contemporary vocabulary. In the finale, the two principal themes are tossed back and forth, finally uniting joyfully in the coda.
Elegy began as a prayer. The initial musical ideas came to me when I found out that my beloved piano teacher, Marina Grin, was terminally ill. But the full realization of the piece only emerged spontaneously after I learned of her passing.

Elegy is dedicated to the memory of Marina Grin, who first showed me how to live a life in music. Originally for violin and piano, Amanda Harberg arranged Elegy for viola and string orchestra for Brett Deubner.
Fiddler, composer, and storyteller Max Wolpert conjures up monsters and myth where the traditional, classical, and theatrical meet. Drawing from tradition both musical and mythological, Wolpert makes music inspired by stories from around the world. Whether built upon the verve and bounce of an Irish jig, the endearing asymmetry of a Welsh pipe tune, or the drive of a Virginian breakdown, his pieces are crafted with taut detail and a flair for the dramatic honed over years as a pit musician, conductor, and orchestrator for theatrical productions.

His two string quartets, Myths and Song of Four , serve as pedagogical tools to introduce the classical musician to traditional forms and improvisation, and in performance bring forth an Irish war goddess, two enchanted ravens, a young girl with dreams of piracy, and a ferociously contrapuntal chase through a twisting labyrinth. Wolpert is dedicated to music education and is a passionate advocate for new music. He encourages his students and collaborators to explore stories and traditions that spark the imagination, and to bring forth the outlandish, the macabre, and the magic inherent in music.

One of these common threads is that notion best summed up by the line from Genesis 6: To encapsulate this notion, this concerto is framed around a melodic interval which gradually diminishes and draws together; thus, the first movement is built on an ascending perfect fifth, the second movement on an ascending perfect fourth, and the third movement on an ascending major third.
This work was written for and is dedicated to Brett Deubner, whose unbridled zeal and diligence in championing new music is a tremendous inspiration. The personification of time as an old man with a long white beard is fairly commonplace, but this movement focuses on one of his more intriguing depictions: Col legno strings tick ominously away underneath frantic counterpoint until, at last, a tolling chime indicates that the time has come.

Lengthy orchestral tutti sections should be cut. The quartet at first sounds an elegiac note, a character to be taken up more fully in the second movement: The return of lyricism offers a moment of hope, before a trumpet sounds the call again and the world comes to an end in a fiery orchestral tutti.
The return of lyricism offers a moment of hope, before a trumpet sounds the call again and the world comes to an end in a fiery orchestral tutti. As our world collapses into disaster, the gently rolling sound of a harp invites us to look upward, into the castle of a giant who possesses a magical harp which can play by itself.

Eventually, the harp resumes and lulls the giant back to sleep, and the movement comes to a placid close. So, this movement is inspired by the idea of a thunderstorm, not as a natural disaster, but as a wild dance party.
Rhythmically driven, with a Balkan-influenced groove, the movement powers along with a brief calm interlude and playful cadenza before bringing the concerto to a boisterous finish.
