 Robert Allan & Ben Smith taking a bow after the performance
This piece comes from the conviction that music is most exciting, interesting, and personal (to the composer and performer), when it involves the emotional and intellectual input and personality of the performers.
The performers must see themselves as co-conspirators in the making of this piece. This does not mean solely interpreters; it means an understanding of one's role at an even more prominent status of co-composer. They are given a certain amount of guidance on the page, but must create in the moment, as well, in order to make a piece out of the material. |
