The irksome, impersonal virtual world has its advantages... Finding music by contemporary composers is not always easy. The big record companies, with their focus on profit margins are, of course, reluctant to get into the business of composers who might, say, introduce the sledge hammer, grandma's china and a bingo basket filled with Ben Wa balls to the recording studio. But the world of contemporary music is most often a bold experiment in sound and impression and a way to extend the range of instruments... Like the piano... Or is it the dowel's range that has been extended in this version of John Cage's Sonata V?
.... Difficult to perform on an electronic piano...
