“Jazz-inspired piccolo music!”
Running is fast and furious with jazz- inspired rhythms and harmonies which lift the music right off the page. The piccolo part has a manageable note range and looks straightforward, so it's the speed that is the technical challenge here. The piano part is tricky too with more complex rhythms and jazz chords. Keep the ensemble tight, make it all sound effortless and this will make a fascinating change of genre in any recital!
