About Frank Martin


A Swiss composer whose compositional style can be described as shifting tonality: the chords are regular, but the center is always moving. Similarly, the Petite Symphonie concertante utilizes a traditional classical setup of strings and a continuo made up of piano, harp, and harpsichord. The continuo gradually become solo instruments while the sonata-allegro form expands with free, spontaneous development. ~ Blue Gene Tyranny, Rovi
