Moments Worth Listening For
The deep, resonant C-string drone that grounds the shifting arpeggios in Partita No. 2, Movement VII.
The sudden, brief melodic warmth that breaks through the austere repetition of The Paris Sky.
The way the final movement of Songs & Poems seems to dissolve into silence rather than ending.
