Toy Piano
Antarctica - volume
By Various Composers
Regular price
$50.00
New music for toy piano and/or piano. Another exciting University of Western Sydney project of newly composed works inspired by the landscapes and atmospheres of one of the most fascinating continents on the planet. Antarctica is considered an inhospitable continent but it has fascinated and inspired not only travellers, scientists, researchers but musicians and writers. This program of eleven composers from five countries draws on the sounds of the piano, and the clear, distinctive sound of two toy pianos, into their works.
Recorded by Antonietta in Australia and Italy on the CD Antarctica (Wirr 059) available online.
