Level 5
Nocturne and Minuet
$50.00$8.00 (additional score)
By Bill Robinson. Playable by good amateurs, but of interest to any professional; not too long; something that people can listen to and enjoy on a number of levels; and something that touches the heart. The first movement contains a kind of moodiness that justifies the title of Nocturne. The second movement is in strict classical minuet form, complete with a trio section and minuet da capo. You may find a little Prokoviev, a touch of Bartok in his milder moods, maybe a little Ravel, and in the Minuet, more than a touch of Haydn; but the language is pretty typical Robinson.
