Par ADES THOMAS. A paraphrase in the manner of Liszt or Busoni, this brilliant, quick-witted reworking of music from four scenes of Adès’s scandalous – and hugely successful – first opera Powder Her Face is a virtuosic tour de force. The fifteen-minute work was premiered by its composer in 2010 and has since been taken up by pianists internationally. / Piano Music / Répertoire / Piano
