Fine, I :: Partita
Fine, I
Composed the year after the Toccata Concertante for orchestra, the Partita shares with that work crispness, buoyancy, and a neo-Baroque clarity of form. Fine's inventiveness, sense of proportion, and attention to detail yield a delightfully imaginative work, widely hailed as one of the best American contributions to the genre. The opening Introduction and Theme is balanced by a more active Variation movement in binary form. Close on the heels of a delicate Interlude, the lively Gigue features remarkable timbral variety. An ornamented but meditative Coda provides a suitable finish. Virgil Thomson said the Partita has fluency in the counterpoint, imagination in the harmony, excellent tunes, and a real personal poetry.
For woodwind quintet: flute, oboe, clarinet, horn, and bassoon.
