"Shadow" was composed to evoke the mood and style of the iconic first movement of Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata.
Set in C minor, the piece features a hauntingly beautiful and melancholic melody that should be played in a cantabile (singing) style. Occasional hemiolas—subtle shifts between simple and compound rhythmic groupings—offer an opportunity to fully explore the 6/8 time signature.
