Work Overview
This piece, a flight of fancy, comprises three sections, each
lasting about a minute or so.
The first section kicks off in an energetic and cheerful way with
the bright, upper registers of both instruments at play. Also
evident in the opening section are ideas such as angular melodic
lines played in unison, a little harp-like piano accompaniment
texture and a contrasting theme fashioned atop a jazzy,
dance-inspired bassline.
The middle section of the piece is perhaps the most 'unearthly'
of all the music. Little updrafts and whirlwinds of tinkling,
glockenspiel-like piano figurations add a haunting quality to a
chromatically inflected melody, evoking, for me, images of night
and a kind of magic.
The final section of the piece - which brings us back to earth
with its recapitulation of earlier material - is characterised by
the sound of a slow-to-start, hand-cranked engine.
