jeffreyjones's Comments

I worked on this piece feverishly for a long time for an earlier performance and then let it sit, so I was interested to see how it had marinated. In the process of picking it back up again, I saw a number of things in the score I had never noticed before, and that I'm not sure any of the great performers noticed - not surprising in an extremely complicated, but rather obscure 14 minute piece! Unlike the earlier recording, this was done on my Schimmel upright - with the apartment pedal on, because otherwise the distortion from the microphone is too intense. As it was, it was about 25 feet away!
