Product details
Graeme Lee, Jenny Lee's father and the commissioner of Four Ballades writes: "Jenny was a fine young pianist as a school girl. She is now raising two children Henry and Eliza who are both interested in music.Their schools emphasise music bands where everyone can participate."
In the interests of cohesion the Ballades have opening notes that are a transposition of J.S.Bach's famous musical signature (B.A.C.H.), and are all based on a freely harmonised twelve-tone row stated in octaves at the opening of the first Ballade. This row generates a prime number obsession throughout the set. There is also a tight narrative through each Ballade that suggests a literary journey, but there are no specific programs despite the contrasting characters of each work. (MKH)
