Malawey: Winter Waltz for Alto Saxophone and Piano

Code: JP4015
ISMN: 979-0-3019-0065-9

Winter Waltz was written in the middle of an Ohio winter when snow, ice, and cold temperatures made everything seem so bleak. To counter the dreariness of the winter the composer was experiencing, she wanted to write a piece with an upbeat and playful rhythmic structure. To this effect, the piece features a waltz meter with a great deal of syncopation in both the piano and saxophone parts. The piece as a whole uses a traditional formal design of rounded binary.
