EMERSON

Emerson is the most thickly layered of the movements. The music makes large, unpredictable intervallic leaps, piles ideas on ideas and moves between them abruptly. It is complex, dense and three-dimensional. The photographic images of trees fuse with the green of the Triptych’s central table and the inner world of the piano’s hammers. The projected images flatten, expand, and distort in the light of the late afternoon.
