Composer: Philip Cashian Title: Pietro's Machine Instrumentation: Piano trio - vln, vlc, pno Duration: 3 minutes Difficulty: Moderate Technical Issues: With the exception of the second movement, in which long-held pitches predominate, much of the music consists of fragmentary material. Programme note: The piece was commissioned for the Chamber Music Exchange by Thalia Myers. Pietro is a carpenter in Italo Calvino's short story 'The Cloven Viscount'. He makes beautiful, intricate mechanisms that are of no use whatever. Availability: E-mail the publisher |
