Various - Augusta Read Thomas: Two Thoughts About the Piano (for solo piano)

Composed by Augusta Read Thomas and Bernard Rands for pianist Joel Fan, for The Open Source Musical Festival. The commission specified that this composition must be a reaction to an older musiccomposition (not by ART or BR), and we chose to react to Elliott Carter's 'Cat�naires' from his Two Thoughts About the Piano for solo piano. 'Two Thoughts About The Piano was inspired by - and is a response to - Elliott Carter's Cat�naires fromhis Two Thoughts About the Piano. My work is entirely original and does not quote from or share music in common with Mr. Carter�s work.'
