Stewart Greenbaum: Piano Sonata No. 3
'Life in Light-Years'
Georgina Lewis, piano
This work for solo piano is written for Georgina Lewis. It was conceived as a single flowing post-minimal movement of around an hour in length and was completed while in residence at the Akiyoshidai International Art Village in Japan. It comprises 19 episodes, some that recur in full, others as fragments in preview or reprise; an arc of life traversing a tapestry of human emotion and endeavour in time and distance.
The premiere performance was given by Georgina Lewis at St. John’s Anglican Church, Flinders on 5 January 2025 as part of the Peninsula Summer Music Festival.
The recording is available on most streaming services (Spotify, Apple Music, etc).
