For the Season One finale of The Piano Pedagogy Playlist, we’re doubling up on Chris Norton’s A Year in Twelve Keysand exploring both the June and July movements before taking a short summer break.

First, we’ll hear Fughetta, a lively contemporary miniature fugue that showcases the composer’s skillful contrapuntal writing and rhythmic energy. Then we’ll move into Dozing on a Hot Summer’s Day, a dream-like meditation built around a repeating ostinato that perfectly captures the feeling of a lazy summer afternoon.

Two months. Two very different musical worlds. One final repertoire discovery before the podcast returns in August.

Thanks for listening, have a wonderful summer, and I’ll see you again in August!
