| Description : | This one is sure to be popular for recital programs The movement titles familiar to every percussionist are 'This is Not a Rhythm Song', 'This is Not a Violin Concerto', and 'This is Not a Mexican Dance'. However, Davies has not written a spoof of any of the mentioned works; rather, the titles are a tribute, albeit a somewhat ironic one, to the popularity of the pieces named. Leaving the titles aside, 'Not a Sonata' is highly worthwhile to perform, with interesting harmonic and rhythmic concepts and a variety of technical and musical challenges. |
