Album Notes & Community Reviews
This groundbreaking set of piano works represents a pivotal moment in the development of total serialism in the 20th century. By rigorously organizing not just pitch, but rhythm, dynamic, and attack, the composer laid the intellectual groundwork for the highly structural avant-garde movements of the subsequent decade.
