Default Hi, There is now a recordin

Hi,

There is now a recording of this piece on Soundclick.
http://www.soundclick.com/bands/defa...?bandID=655173

This is the note that should also be there:

This movement is sandwiched between a ragtime third movement, which will appear here when I have revised it to the point someone with only two hands can play it, and a first movement which is too long for the limits here, but a download URL will be furnished when the movement is ready.

The current movement is based, at the beginning and end, on an old song witha lovely melody, "When You were Sweet Sixteen". The middle section, which begins at about 3 and a half minutes, is built on a flute accompaniment to a variation of the main theme of the first movement. That theme is derived from "It Came Upon a Midnight Clear," and is played backward in the variation in question. There, the flute has a section which is completely accompaniment, mostly to the piano. In the middle section of this movement, it becomes the subject.

all best,
mgj
