Music for Piano Solo IV (1996)
(Crystalline Textures)
A response to minimalism, Crystalline Textures was written as an exercise in “transparent” or “crystalline” textures, utilizing Romantic and Impressionist elements of texture and dynamics. Repetitive or minimalist elements are employed, yet varied. To provide forward motion rhythmically, eight-note triplets are varied with either with a duple or by eliminating an eighth note altogether to make a compound meter. Although not written with a key signature, the piece is clearly tonal with tension between the major and minor. (1997 performance by BWG at Steinway Hall, NYC.) |
