Sally Greenaway | Composer

Inspired by the late Classical and early Romantic eras, the piece is inspired by Schubert, Beethoven, Mozart and perhaps a little bit of Debussy (and some modern-day film inspiration). Commissioned by Canberra Grammar School as part of their Silver Anniversary of the Evening of Fine Music, August 2011.

Written in 3 short movements: The opening movement is 'Allegro quasi fantasia' with a shimmering piano accompaniment (and hints of Dr Who). The middle movement is 'Largo - molto legato e espressivo' with a soaring lead clarinet line reminiscent of Mozart's famous Clarinet Concerto. The second movement segues into the final movement, a fast and exciting 'Maestoso' with hints of Pirates of the Caribbean.

The composer has since created an arrangement for string quartet (or quintet) with piano.
