Description:

Dont Miss It! Varses America for Two PianosA collection of works by Edgar Varse, the dynamic composer, and Feldman, the contemplative composer who deeply admired Varse.Feldmans works (1) and (3) feature his signature music, reminiscent of waves steadily ebbing and flowing.

Originally a large-scale orchestral work featuring 50 wind players and a nearly nonstop percussion section, the title America refers not only to the geographical location but also symbolizes innovation, adventure, and discovery.
