A lent contemporary concerto series? Excuse me whilst I copiously salivate over my keyboard, this fascinating piece really leaves everything on the table as to what future uploads can offer, very exciting stuff.
I’m in total agreement with you there, Daniel. One of those now-very-rare “How can anyone not have thought to do this before?!” pieces. A great start to what, I’m sure, will be another great series – Simon, as ever, many thanks!
I can recall instances in the first section of Richard Barrett’s Vanity where the piano fires out pitch ‘bullets’ that are sustained by the orchestra (& it also features a vast orchestral cluster later), but Lucier’s is the only time I’ve ever encountered the idea as a methodical process. Seems such an obvious idea, doesn’t it?
