Over their 25-minute span, they take the instrument as a kind of solo drawing room orchestra put at the disposal of a virtuoso player, and were written with the physical characteristics of playing the instrument very much in mind; the act of touch, how the hands move on the keyboard, the shape and feel of a chord or note-cluster under the fingers, the archetypes of keyboard accompaniment figures, the control of a legato line - what Maw described as the metamorphosis of song.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNever seemingly anachronistic or reactionary, the pieces caress, ravish, astound and seriously engage the ear.\n\u003cbr\u003eThe Financial Times (Paul Driver), 10 June 1986\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is virtuoso music in weight as much as technique.\n\u003cbr\u003eThe Times (Paul Grifiths), 9 June 1986\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Faber Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46669685457058,"sku":"DSM-FB-34652","price":11.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1279\/2287\/files\/fc03a362-8f03-4e8a-93d8-3afa3de4dd28.jpg?v=1773376944","url":"https:\/\/www.adlibmusic.com.au\/products\/personae-vi-piano-solo-digital-download","provider":"Adlib Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
