This piece was influenced by Khachaturian’s Sonatina (1959) for piano, movement III. Allegro moso. Changing meter and the use of accents spurred the unpredictable character of this piece to portray the unease this pain inducing ant elicits. Crashing diminished chords in the upper register depict The Bullet Ant’s stinging bite. The B section represents a tribal dance displaying a ritual melody to manhood. The final double forearm cluster portrays the young man’s triumph or tragedy. You be the judge.
Key: A minor
