Program Note

Arioso und Splat makes the most of the contrast between the sweet, distant quality of the opening trumpet “bel canto” melody (over a rather edgy piano accompaniment) and the blatantly raucous “Splat” section, which has its occasional moments of sultriness, mystery, and even a little whining, before working its way to a triumphant splattiness.
