C. V. Alkan - 12 Etudes in All the Minor Keys, ' En rhythme molossique' [Op. 39 No. 2] (Gibbons)

Performed by Jack Gibbons
En rhythme molossique (In molossian rhythm) is the second of the Études in the minor keys, Op. 39 for solo piano by the French composer Charles-Valentin Alkan, published in 1846. It is in D minor. The piece is in rondo form, with two episodes. Ronald Smith compares the theme, involving loud octaves in canon, to the minuet from Joseph Haydn's string quartet, Op. 76 No. 2.
Kaikhosru Shapurji Sorabji considered this piece to be one the 'most original' of the op. 39 set, 'the dour, harsh, heavy brutality of the rhythm is magnificently expressed.'

This is great piece, one of the best one in opus 39, and Gibbon's interpretation is my favourite!
