Bliss. Triptych for Piano. Sheet Music. Plan. PF. Arthur Bliss. --.

Original

Returning to his first love, the piano, this piece, composed in 1970. The three pieces forming the Triptych are a Meditation, a Dramatic Recitative and a Capriccio. The Meditation is naturally reflective, but not unduly introspective. the drama in the Recitative rests on the contrast between rhetorical statements and bravura passages. the Capriccio is carried on a vivacious rhythmic pulse and ends with brilliance. It is dedicated to Louis Kentner with admiration and gratitude - the admiration is for his playing, and the gratitude for the help he gave during the recording of my piano sonata by Marguerite Wolff. Sir Arthur Bliss.
