EVEREST score: page 1
Program Note
EVEREST is named after the tallest mountain on the planet. Although the sharp rising figures in the first half of the piece are reminiscent of steep cliffs, the movement is not meant to represent the mountain itself. Instead, it is intended to serve as a metaphor for a monumental obstacle encountered in life. The rising figures in the movement eventually transform into descending ones, reflecting how a person who overcomes a significant challenge emerges on the other side transformed by the experience. This movement was completed in 2010 for pianist Monika Haar.
EVEREST is the final movement from THREE MOVEMENTS FOR PIANO but may be performed separately as an individual piece.
