MICROGRAPHS
MICROGRAPHS for Piano, 1979. As the name implies, these are seven “microscopic” pieces which were inspired by micro-photography in a National Geographic article that included images of crystals, diatoms, and other very small entities normally unseen.
Included are three related Microvariations, as well as Crystalline Growth, Crystalline Structure, A Rotifer's Dance and Philodina. Performance time is about 7 minutes. $5.00 US (sales tax may apply). |
