Run Away

This piece is about running away. First there is restlessness, then the escape begins. But what are we running away from? That is for you to find out!

Playing time: appx. 4:30 To the conductor:

There are challenges in the use of dynamics and rhythm. It is important that energy and pace is upheld all the way up until the next to last page. Dissonances are present several places, but the voice leading is diatonic within the given scale.

The whole piece is based on one single scale: F melodic minor with lowered second degree. It is notated as a concert F major scale with two accidentals. Feel free to use it during warm-ups!
