  1. Piano Piece No. 2 Frank Horvat (piano) 03:33

Programme Notes

I have always been intrigued by the gritty rumble of the piano’s low register. It has a completely different character from the bright (and sometimes sweet) nature of the upper register. In Piano Piece No. 2, I delve into the piano’s more vulgar side. Irregular meters and a barbaric tone work together to explore the fine line between structured chaos and musical anarchy.

– Frank Horvat

Poetry Inspired by Piano Piece No. 2

Chain Linked and Ordered

Concretize my frenzy,
chain linked by the pecking order,
of urbana.
I live in the city
Envied by the world all over
To what clear end?

– Imre Attila János Torma – 2016
