Sonata for Flute Cello and Piano

Matt Greene — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 21:23:25 +0000

Here is a piece I wrote for my favorite small ensemble. Its three movements and runs about 12-13 minutes. The piano part is pretty tricky in spots but nothing should be a problem for the flute and cellist. The music is in a late romantic early 20th c. style, and the third movement has a touch of Prokofiev. I will get a Mp3 sample up soon.

Portrait of a Serial Killer

Matt Greene — Mon, 10 Dec 2007 04:17:01 +0000

Hi everyone! Its been a while since I have posted and I will change that. Here are all five movements of “Portrait of a Serial Killer.” It is for piano and string quartet. I wrote this piece about 6 years ago. I have delayed posting because of Finale. This is a fun and eerie piece that is approx. 16 minutes in it’s entirety. Movement 3 has a short piano cadenza and Movements 4 and 5 should be played back to back. E-mail me for parts if your interested. (BTW It also makes a great two piano piece.)

Twenty-Six Years

Matt Greene — Fri, 01 Jun 2007 02:16:13 +0000

Here is a piece for piano and cello written for a friend of mine after their Birthday. It’s for all of you in your 20’s with no clue what your doing in life. It’s about 3 minutes in length. Very fun to play. This is good practice for you pianists who want some help jumping in the left hand (like a waltz).
