TRANSITION

the interdisciplinary piano
by Tricia Dawn Williams

TRANSITION is a portrait of the avant-garde piano that stretches almost one hundred years of repertoire. Each piece on the programme breaks new ground as each composer navigates through uncharted waters to depict a new profile for the instrument.
