Whirlwind

Program Notes

Whirlwind is a quick swirling waltz.  It takes the form of a rondo, a series of returning themes, which mimics the spinning nature of its namesake.  The music itself often lifts into the air and glides back to the main theme.  This is a complete rework of the very first piece I wrote, by the name of Fire Tornado.  Most of the main ideas survived, but now they are much more colorful and developed.  I am very proud with how this piece turned out, especially looking back and seeing how much has improved over time.
