observations

Peut être donnée avec la pièce ‘Performance’

Program note

    <p>A companion piece to Performance, <em>Mirror-glass skyscrapers</em> follows its predecessor directly when performed. While the vocal setting contains novel material, all the piano music, with the exception of a brief solo and a momentary appearance of a truly polyphonic texture, is derived from the earlier work. <em>Mirror-glass skyscrapers</em> was written for Mary Nessinger, to whom it is dedicated. <br /></p><p><em>Jason Eckardt.</em><br /></p>
