Vladimir Horowitz - Moszkowski Etincelles (sparks)
Moszkowski Etincelles (sparks)
Étincelles, Op. 36, No. 6 (Sparks) is a piece for solo piano by Moritz Moszkowski. It is the 6th piece from Moszkowski's 8 Characteristic Pieces set.
This flashy showpiece, as the name suggests, conveys images of flashing sparks through the use of a staccato theme and extremely fast scale passages, which require a great deal of technical ability. The piece is written in the key of B-flat major and in 3/8 time. A happy and lively mood is consistent throughout the piece although the dynamics are nearly always quiet.
Score as played by Vladimir Horowitz Vienna 1987
