For Piano and Violin.Composed for Hilary Hahn Avner Dorman's inspiration for Memory Games is the classic 1980’s memory game ‘Simon.’ The original game has four colored buttons each with a distinct sound and a light bulb behind it. The machine illuminates and sounds a string of notes at random; the players have to repeat the patterns. Several rounds of Simon are played throughout Memory Games so to speak making it resemble a Passacaglia (or variations on a bass line).'Avner Dorman’s labyrinthine Memory Games based on the memory game Simon...offered gorgeous and palatable social and historicalcommentary.' -- Erica Zora Wrightson Los Angeles Times
