Outside In features Bay Area innovation with two world premieres of new commissioned works. A complex one by Brian Ferneyhough pupil Chris Trebue Moore, Amnesia Barrier for flute, clarinet and piano and Through the Golden Gate for the full Earplay ensemble by Lori Dobbins illustrates the stylistic fluency of the Earplay musicians.
Two similar yet different solo piano pieces, Judith Weir’s serious The Art of Touching the Keys and Michael Finnissy’s quirky Freight Train Bruise add contrast with composers from the British Isles. Trio, Op.45 (1946) by Arnold Schoenberg firmly anchors the program in “modern” music—harmonic and melodic language in which traditional tonal centers are abandoned and each tone is regarded as equal in expressivity and importance.
