All roads lead to Rome as the saying goes - but do all roads also lead to Ixtlan perhaps at another time? Ixtlan being the city of the highest aspirations of the Mexican sorcerer Don Genaro (according to Carlos Casteneda the anthropologist publishing a series of books on Don Juan Don Genaro's col-league). There was no final outcome to Genaro's journey and there will never be one. I will never reach Ixtlan he said so Genaro is still on his way there.(Ixtlan may perhaps be interpreted as the inner goal of your heart).In any case: in these three movements the three points of departure are utterly different: still they unanimously move towards just one melodic outcome akind of musical centre of gravitation.

Toccatissimo- Toccata (from the Italian toccare 'to touch to hit') is one of the oldest names for instrumental pieces and describes a musical form that is usually comprised of several parts. Each part is constructed from a musical idea such as for example chords runs or imitations of a short motive. Toccatissimo is a composition that consists of several parts executed in different tempos. The main key is G-major. The work begins with fast runs that move in upward and downward sequences. After this a quiet motive follows with fast interjections following from the first part this time however in A-major. The next theme in A minor alternates between 4/4and 3/4 measures. After a short cadence a merry waltz sounds which is then followed once again by the first part in G-major. After a short cadence a blues is performed that is interrupted by a rhythmic block. The quiet section that now follows segues to the first motive as a fiery finale.

Main Title-Tim Burton is famed for producing dark but light-hearted movie blockbusters and Beetlejuice is one such classic.

Tombeau – which takes its title from the central elegy of the work – was composed 1966-69. Its form is a series of fairly specific technical studies interspersed with variations. The introduction provides a sort of ‘trailer’ in which each phrase of the theme is punctuated by a brief quote from the ensuing studies (heard in reverse order). This scheme is balanced by that of the finale which is also punctuated by short ‘flashbacks’. Tombeau was written as a tribute to certain composers for the piano notably Schumann and Szymanovsky and to a style of playing that has now become almost ‘historic’. It is also a tribute to our beloved masters many of them obscure who made usmusicians. It is therefore in many senses a retrospective work the last of a phase undertaken just before a fairly drastic re-evaluation of techniques ideas and intentions. It is dedicated to Stephen Kovacevich who commissioned it and gave its first performance on the BBC Third Programme and subsequently at Dartington Hall Summer School.
