Description:
In his early twenties; Peter Schickele was profoundly affected by a performance of Boulez's Second Piano Sonata; changing his impression of contemporary music forever. According to Schickele; these Four Pieces for Piano were 'one of the earliest manifestations of that reckoning. [They] have many of the hallmarks of the so-called post-Webern style: wide skips; extreme range; and no regular beat; but; unlike Boulez's sonata; those pieces constantly flirt with old-fashioned tonality and jazzy rhythms.' For advanced players.
