festive

This is a piece from my printed collection of pieces “The Elements of Ballet” for the ballet schools accompanists (the “Coda”). This version is for two pianos; the character is very lively and upbeat. In the middle part you’ll find 2 very short “quotations”, a reference to two iconic American melodies – “I Wish I Was in Dixie” by Dan Emmett and  “The Stars and Stripes Forever” by J.F.Sousa – as a brief wink to the tradition. 🙂    –    Piano duo   //           Length 1:17,  132 bpm,  4/4
