      Album Description

      Twentieth-century piano music has been known to provoke uprisings: listeners rise up and leave the room. Radical Piano consciously tries to hold onto the audience. One hears striking dissonances, surprising mood changes, and aggressive rhythmic elements, but nothing approaching complete atonality. It's music that breaks the mold, without destroying the patience of mainstream listeners. The opener, Prokofiev's arresting Sarcasms, Op. 17, is a set of five "barbaric" and "sardonic" pieces completed in 1914. It was among a burst of defiant works composed (presumably) in response to critics who panned his adventurous First Piano Concerto. Stravinsky's neoclassical Piano Sonata (1924) has elements of wit and caprice, as well as subtle tenderness. American composer Blackwood acknowledges the stylistic influences of Stravinsky and Viennese-school composers Berg and Schönberg in his Ten Experimental Pieces in Rhythm and Harmony (1948). Written when he was a 15-year-old student at the Berkshire Music Center, Blackwood views them today as "amusing divertimenti . . . more than mere juvenalia." This is their world-premiere recording. Berg's single-movement Sonata, Op. 1 (1908), creates an elaborate "hyper-romantic" mood with its numerous frantic climaxes of increased volume and tempo. Nielsen's ingenious Three Pieces, Op. 59 (1928), show his late interest in transitional post-tonal modernism -- a radical departure from his better-known compositions. Alain's haunting Dans le rêve laissé par la ballade des pendus de Villon (1930s) translates as "In the dream left by Villon's Ballade of the Hanged Men." Alain, known almost exclusively for his organ music, seems to prefigure the advent of minimalism in this rare piano composition. Ives' Study No. 20 (1908) contains contrasting sections of highly dissonant impressionism, followed by a hymn tune, a stately march, and a hilarious ragtime shuffle. This is the Study's first recording expressly for CD. Lastly, Copland's Piano Variations (1930) evinces a rugged modernism far removed from his more readily accessible compositions. "It is one of the remarkable features of the work that the same basic idea can be made to undergo such a variety of moods, " Blackwood writes in the CD notes.
