Description
SKU: A0.1316530
Composed by Angela Salvaggione. Baroque,Contest,Festival,Instructional. Score and part. 7 pages. Angela Salvaggione #905263. Published by Angela Salvaggione (A0.1316530).This piece is based on a ground, or ostinato. That means it has a repeating pattern, in this case, eight bars. La Folia is a ground that’s been used by many composers over the centuries, including Corelli (Violin Sonata Op. 5, no. 12) and Vivaldi (Trio Sonata, Op. 1 no. 12), and more recently, Rachmaninoff (Variations on a Theme of Corelli) and Manuel Ponce (Variations sur Folia de España et fugue), and more recently still, Glen Shannon’s La Follia Variations for recorder ensemble. Many of these pieces are quite long to listen to, but are written for a variety of instruments and a variety of styles. Perhaps it will inspire you to try and write a variation yourself. You can have your teacher play the ground and you play your variation at the same time to see if you like how it sounds together.
Warning! DO NOT start this piece too fast! The opening theme is very easy, but after every eight bars, each variation becomes more difficult as you Level Up through the piece. Keep everything under control, and think of ways you can make each variation sound different – experiment with your dynamics and articulations.
Time: ca. 2:15
Key: D minor
Range: E2-Bb3
