Sarabande - op. 82 - Sheet Music for Solo Piano Mel Bonis

Sarabande by Mel Bonis is a sustained piano piece in F-sharp minor (Lent et solennel, 3/4 time). The step remains slow, the piano writing is weighty and clear, and the harmony carries a dark tone. The sarabande, originally a serious dance in triple time, is deepened in a romantic manner by Bonis.If you want to discover the piano works of Mel Bonis, a good place to start is Pavane, Sarabande and Bourrée: three independent, manageably long pieces in easily playable keys that belong together as dances. The Sarabande stands in the middle and also stands alone when a more solemn piece is wanted.
