Work Overview

The image of fata morgana, or mirages, is the inspiration for these four pieces. In each, a fata morgana, a static shimmering figure appears on the horizon and then just as suddenly is gone. The prepared piano-John Cage's hybrid invention, straddling the tuned world of the piano and the untuned of the percussion-is an apt choice to depict these varied kinds of musical mirages.
