Gyorgy Ligeti quote: "In my piano concerto I developed this polyphony to much higher..."
In my piano concerto I developed this polyphony to much higher complexity. Gyorgy Ligeti
The way it works: The orchestra plays a few selections of its own and I terminate the first part of the programme on piano, usually with a movement from a Mozart concerto. George Shearing
I'd forget the piece just before I went out to do the concerto, the panic was too great. This was not anything that gave me pleasure. This was fulfilling somebody else's dream. Linda Lavin
Alfred Schnittke quote: "Do you know that my very first experience as a composer was a..."
