two pianos For Yvar Mikhashoff & James
Clapperton First performance: 24th May 1990,
Bergen Festival. Yvar Mikhashoff and James Clapperton The music for Embrace (two pianos) is the same music as the separate piano pieces called Down there by the sea. Embrace consists of six solo pieces, which are grouped into two equal sets, one for each pianist. The order of the sets is fixed (Piano 1 - Down there by the sea, Lullaby and Down. Piano 2 - Sea, there by and 77 notes) but in performance the interrelated pairs are freely intertwined. The pianists rehearse their pieces separately, and should not listen to each other until they begin the performance and make whatever adjustments are necessary (for instance, in dynamics, and in tempo).
