Preface (Brian Fernyehough)

Even though these three movements are highly contrasted in almost every respect I was very concerned with gradually revealing a larger unifying formal motion manifesting itself through the increasingly insistent emergence of static, iterative textures marshalled into massive self-enclosed blocks. On this level, the overall tendency is thus a sense of increasing entropy countered, in part, by the evolution of the nervous, evasive flickerings characterising the first movement into more consistently stable (and thus recognizable) textures.

At the outset, all levels of articulation – alignment of tempo and figure, register, degree of transformation – are mobilized in the service of an urgently energized and mercurial field. In the second piece, the longest, this type of activity is progressively degraded by the unexpected incursion of brutally invariant chordal blows. The ambiguous, unremitting encounter of these incompatible materials gives rise to a form in which disballace, frustration and unpredictability are the norm. I see a sort of “negative resolution” being achieved in the third movement, in that all types of activity, whatever their putative origin, are held forcibly isolated from one another, almost as if they belonged in distinct, mutually incomprehensible universes of discourse.
