About "Barber: Excursions, Op. 20: IV. Allegro molto" by Angela Brownridge
Barber's final Excursion is a jolt: Allegro molto, all elbows and syncopation. Brownridge attacks the piano with jazzy precision, the calm of the preceding movements shattered by restless energy. It's a sprint through American vernacular—bright, brash, and deliciously unsettled.
