Program Notes

Rhapsody No. 2 should be truly be performed in a "Rhapsodic" manner. The elements of the piece ought to feel as if they are being improvised by the performer. The tempi should always feel fluid, especially in sections marked "Rubato", but throughout, as well. The dramatic and extreme dynamic contrasts, should be emphasized. This piece was realized with the piccolo timpano directly to the right of the 23 inch drum, and not between the 26 and 23 in ch drums.
