The music varies widely in texture and transparency, sound and approach, and duration. Some of the composers use only the traditional sounds of the instrument, some use extended techniques, some include outside resources, and some work at the boundary between sound and silence, exploring the piano’s unique acoustic properties and the decay of its sound. Others have a strong interest in importing musical source material from all types of musical genres. When this diverse music is brought together in the concert hall, it creates a fascinating web of correspondences between the works. The audience too forges connections with the music, as each listener is a living contemporary of these works, able to hear and understand “in the moment” of the music’s own composition.
