******************************

This is a triumphal march – a monumental celebration of great victories and accomplishments. It employs three principal related themes, with each theme being accompanied by a variation immediately after it is presented. The majority of the march is composed for two pianos, a brass section, and timpani – although the second occurrence of the first two theme-variation blocks is orchestrated differently, with the brass section being replaced by an organ and a second part added for timpani.

This work was originally composed in 2009 and has been remastered using the Finale 2011 software.

Both the rapid tempo and the minor passages of this composition are representative of tension and struggle, properly created, in Mr. Stolyarov’s view, through this method rather than by dissonance. The melody transitions frequently from minor to major to illustrate a rational man’s intense exertion in the face of a challenge, and the successful (and pleasant) consequent outcome.

Abrupt Insights, Op. 73 – Composition for Classical Guitar and Harpsichord (2013) – G. Stolyarov II

Comments 1 comment

A work that is both classical and experimental, this piece for two classical acoustic guitars and three harpsichords is intended to evoke the process of arriving at new ideas or making progress on a major project in a staggered fashion. Each advance is a leap forward, but, on a larger scale, there remain an order and coherence of the greater task or discovery being achieved. This work follows a theme-and-variations format and utilizes harmonies reminiscent of the Spanish classical guitar compositions of the late 18th and early 19th centuries.

Length: 3:25

This composition is played in Finale 2011 software.

Rondo #5, Op. 72 (2013) – Musical Composition by G. Stolyarov II

This rondo by Mr. Stolyarov, new in 2013, is one of his most ornate compositions to date, while managing to maintain an intense rapidity and convey sensations of acceleration and deceleration through the use of chords and changes in prevailing note lengths. The key alternates between C minor and C major, and the melody rapidly develops in complexity until reaching a grand finale in the last recapitulation.

This composition is written for three piano parts and is played in Finale 2011 software.

Variations on Alternating Marches, Op. 15 (2002) – Video by G. Stolyarov II

This composition by Mr. Stolyarov was written down in 2002, but some parts of it were virtually impossible to perform for a pianist of any skill. This version of the composition is played using Finale 2011 software and the Steinway Grand Piano instrument.

Two themes predominate in this work. Their juxtaposition is unusual in that the meters of each theme differ. The opening theme (A) is in 2/4 meter, whereas the second main theme (B) is in 3/4 meter. Both themes are marches, though B is noticeably heavier than A both in terms of the mood and the chords involved. The melodies of both A and B are alternated and repeated throughout the work, but the accompaniment changes dramatically. The last appearance of theme A, for instance, has it accompanied by scales of 32nd-notes — a virtually impossible feat for any human musician to execute.

This composition’s harmonies resemble those found in music of the late 18th-century Classical period, while some of the devices used — including the lengthy trills for the flute and the harp — are more extensive than could be found in that era, as no human flute player could maintain a trill for as long as a computer program can. There are three basic melodies in this piece, and their orchestration is varied over time. The mood of the composition is light, cheerful, and playful — although, it is to be hoped, not frivolous.

This work, originally composed in 2009, has been re-mastered in Finale 2011 software for four parts: piano, flute, bassoon, and harp.
