Drew has demonstrated an extensive understanding of the composition process realising a coherent and stylistic work. A perceptive understanding of idiomatic writing is apparent through changing voices for the theme, varying accompaniment patterns, exploring the range of the piano and appropriate rhythmic ideas for the style. Each variation demonstrates variety with increasing complexity both rhythmically and melodically and interest is maintained for the duration of the composition. Articulations and phrasing have been used stylistically reflecting a strong understanding of score conventions, although they are not consistently applied to all variations. Harmonic elements are very appropriate but not adventurous and the writing is not always consistent in the classical genre. This work sample demonstrates characteristics of work typically produced by a student performing at grade A standard.
