The '3 Piano Project' is a collaboration of pianists Zeynep Ucbasaran, Sergio Gallo, and Miguel Ángel Ortega Chavaldas, who met as students at the Franz Liszt Academy of Music in Budapest.
Composition History
The '3 Piano Project' originated from the planning of the world premiere recording of Turkish composer Ahmet Adnan Saygun's Poem, Op. 73 for three pianos, which had remained unrecorded since its completion in 1986.
Composer's Artistic Vision
Turkish-American composer Kamran Ince's sound world is based on the energy of Turkish and Balkan music, the spirituality of Byzantium and Ottoman music, European art music, and the popular qualities of the American psyche.
Compositional Technique
Luigi Dallapiccola's Musica per tre pianoforti, subtitled 'Inni' (Hymn), predates his later use of the 12-tone technique and contains chromatic passages and extended harmonies within a tonal framework.
Compositional Technique
José Zárate's Petit nocturne noir, written in 2010, does not use customary bar lines, and the durations of some notes are left to the performers' discretion.
