This Is A Graffito I Can Get Behind. In Front Of, Too. And Is That A Dilapidated Piano On The Ground

This is a graffito I can get behind. In front of, too. And is that a dilapidated piano on the ground below? An upright left too long beneath the raw elements? Or is it just a bench? I don't know.

All scores should contain a topography.

Ah yes I remember this one. I first saw this score in 1978 when my teacher was preparing the full 1st volume for a lecture-recital. Kwazy.

One of George Crumb’s trademark iconic scores:

“The Magic Circle of Infinity” from Makrokosmos.

(via blogthoven)

That is a piano all right. Saw duty not just in that N.D. church, I'll wager, but along other routes less civil but more civilized as well. Some forensic examination of the wood would be instructive. I'll bet there's blood (and much else) on there. Spat a tat tat. The cat in the hat. Play it like that.

Waldorf, 2008 This piano is from an old church in North Dakota. Now a remnant of an age long gone, the music may be silent but the ornate workwork is still a beauty to behold.
