Michael Tippett - Sonata no4 (1983/4) I. minim pulse medium slow; crotchet pulse medium fast 0:04 II. crotchet pulse medium fast 5:58 III. slow crotchet pulse 9:32 IV. fast 18:50 V. crotchet pulse slow 25:10 Thomas Ang, piano Recording from a live performance at the Royal Academy of Music, London, UK, January 2014. ------------------------------------------------ Tippett's last sonata is a work in five movements that are otherwise, with the exception of very calculated quotations, unrelated - the construction overall is of five bagatelles, with the stated aim of breaking tradition (there are not many five-movement sonatas in the literature). The first movement lays out a very audible structure of four different sets of materials: bell sounds, a pounding march, a chorale, and tinking scherzando textures. The second is a lilting dance built over a continually augmenting ground bass. The third movement quotes the opening of his 4th symphony (1976/7) but diverges immediately, giving way to free counterpoint in three parts. The central section of the movement (and thus the entire piece) is an immense quintuple repetition of a "hammered" idea and rich treble polychords. The movement then unwinds itself in reverse, ending with the opening A major-minor harmony. The fourth movement is a crazy whirlwind dance, almost an etude in irregular rhythms. A slow central section is built on canons but technical difficulties abound in this short, concentrated piece. The finale proceeds in five sections, with the ending echoing the opening - and the ending of the 4th section imitating the end of the 4th movement; this is Tippett's only nod towards a cyclic form.
