The Forgotten Temple in the Woods (Piano Solo)

Terry Ken  

The Forgotten Temple in the Wood is a piano solo composition composed in B key, later transposed into Ab key, then lastly transposed back into B key. This composition was inspired by the imaginary of a Japanese temple hidden in the woods, which was once being highly praised by people but slowly being abandoned. This is a long composition of music, about 8 minutes 30 seconds. This composition needs to be played steadily with a little bit of rubato. Player also should clearly understand which is the main melody and which is decoration, and the main melody should be brought out. The front part of this composition is mainly formed by triplets, which requires the player to pay a bit of attention. This composition also involves a lot of uneven measures.
