THE PIECE

"Recitative" is the fourth movement from "Eight Pieces for Four Timpani" by the American composer Elliot Carter. This movement was composed in 1946 and published with the others in 1966. Carter dedicated "Recitative" to Morris Lang.

The whole suite contains of 8 pieces of which 6 Carter had composed in 1946, including "Recitative". At that time the pieces were widely considered very difficult if not impossible to play effectively. As time passed and performing skills grew Carter added two pieces in 1966 that included pedal-tuned timpani and decided to publish (before there only existed his manuscripts) the complete set.
