Rondo #2, Op. 65: Listen and Download.

Length: 3:52

This energetic, intricate composition is in rondo (or quasi-rondo) form, with a variation of the main melody occurring between any two developments. The overall structure of this piece is ABA’CA’’B’A’’’, although each segment contains some variation within it as well. The entire composition was created in Anvil Studio for three piano parts, with the third part involved in only the A’’’ segment. Most of it is in the key of C minor, although there is a transition to C major, which characterizes the A’’ and B’ segments.

This is Mr. Stolyarov’s most technically advanced composition to date, and it manages to combine powerful chords and exquisite ornamentation while maintaining clarity, directedness, and a sense of continual motion.
