Bachlava – M. A. Cruz (2007)
Lively and humorous, this piece is intended to be performed as
an encore and is a fun tribute to the work of J. S. Bach.
Advanced.
Named after the Middle Eastern dessert Baklava,
this piece is recommended to be played as an encore for its lively
qualities and playful manner.The replacement of the first syllable
with the name Bach gives the artist license to include several
thematic quotes (only five to be exact, so to not overindulge
the idea). This piece pays tribute to Cruz’s favorite composer
in a tongue-in-cheekcomposition of original content vs. existing
themes, the winner clearly being the honored subject of this dazzling
homage.
