Description

John La Montaine’s Conversations was composed so that it might be realized in terms of a variety of instruments with piano. The four movements (Encounter, Dispute, Affections, and Word Games) are based on a twelve-tone row which forms the basis of both the solo and accompaniment parts. Serial technique is carefully and consistently used throughout, though listeners might not even realize it!
