TEN BAGATELLES
for solo piano

DUTATION: 18 minutes

INSTRUMENTATION: solo piano

YEAR COMPOSED: 2000

Ten Bagatelles (2000) by Lior Navok is an 18-minute collection of short solo piano pieces—his first compositions for the instrument. Each bagatelle was written in a single session, conceived as a fast sketch akin to a Japanese brushstroke painting, capturing the spontaneity of improvisation in conventional notation. Varying widely in character and mood, the ten movements range from Appassionato and Drammatico to Vivace and Largo Sostenuto, forming a vivid cycle that may be performed in full or in selections, with Nos. 9 and 10 always played consecutively.

Program Notes:

The Ten Bagatelles for piano represent my first compositions ever for solo piano. For a long time, I felt that writing music which I could immediately improvise was artificial and useless. Therefore, when I finally decided to compose short pieces for the piano, I had one main guiding principle: to create music in the manner of a fast sketch, akin to a Japanese painting executed in a single brushstroke. The goal was to capture in conventional music notation what might be improvised on the piano. Each of these short pieces, varying in character and mood, was written in a single composing session to preserve the essence of a quick sketch.

Movements:

1. Appassionato
2. Drammatico
3. Misterioso - Scherzando
4. Humoresque
5. Sognando, Rubato
6. Allegretto
7. Energico Furioso
8. Vivace
9. Largamente, Maestoso
10. Largo Sostenuto

Note: It is possible to play selections from the cycle, provided that No. 9 and No. 10 are played consecutively.
