>>William Duckworth's 24-piece piano cycle, "The Time Curve
Preludes."
Chris wrote: "Before I order it 'to look at' (such things
are generally not inexpensive), I'd like to know: will I
also as an 'intermediate' amateur pianist be able to *play*
(at least some of) it?"
Sure, Duckworth's not Kaikhosru Sorabji and the pieces
aren't the Liszt études d'exécution transcendante in the
second version. If you can play Satie's Gnossiennes, you can
bring these off.
"Time Curve Preludes" is a very old composition, from 1979
or 1980. They are modal, dronish, short, multigenre, and of
varying mood. Though he often works by systematically
reducing the musical material, right and left hand usually
end together.
