Description
Play Me Something is not a piece or etude though it contains elements of both. The composition is a series of musical gestures or events which may be performed in any order. The gestures which repeat may be played as many times as the performer wishes. The pianist may or may not use all events and an attacca or slight pause may be placed after each gesture. Once an event is completed, the performer may not play this episodical material again.
Multiple performance possibilities can enable the total work to have a duration between five seconds to five minutes.
Newly-engraved 2024 edition from 1979 original manuscript.
Dedicated to Kathy Mortensen.
