About

My main preoccupation while writing these pieces was with form, in particular to experiment with variants of my Abelian form. When I first invented this form, I was concerned with proportions: a large form whose proportions were also to be found in the constituent sections. In Piano Poems 1, 4, 8, and 9, which use this form, the proportions are generally all equal and the Abelian shape is only a means of determining the order.
