Ana Leira Carnero - Bead Rock (audio + sheet music)

From the composer’s own words: Bead Rock is the third movement of my Piano Sonata No. 3 ’Mondana’; also it may be performed as a standalone concert piece, and I encourage pianists to play it in that way. The title is a play on words, and refers to a spherical jewel like a pearl, but also refers to the main motif (which comprises the notes B, E, A, D) and Rock as a musical genre. The composition was influenced by George Gershwin, Jelly Roll Morton, Jerry Lee Lewis, Nikolai Kapustin and Keith Emerson, and it includes a funny quote from Johann Sebastian Bach’s Italian Concerto. The jazzy style of this piece may be defined as avant-garde, crossover, free-jazz, fusion, modern creative, third stream or jazz-rock. The tempo indication is ’veloce con veemenza’ (vehemently fast). ~~~ Please take note that the audio AND sheet music ARE NOT mine. Change the quality to a minimum of 480p if the video is blurry.
