"This is my piece for viola and piano originally called 'Dusk,' laid alongside the same piece of music reversed. Using the volume envelope I then let each version fade up and down in contrary motion to each other, starting with the forward version being loudest and ending eventually with the reverse version being loudest."
"My research so far appears to show that I invented the
specific phrase 'tristesse des boulingrins.' I find
it hard to believe because I'm sure I read it
somewhere... Verlaine refers to bowling greens
only twice: once in "Le Faune" and once in "La Nuit de
Walpurgis classique," but in neither case is the
bowling green particularly sad. I may have been thinking subconciously of the first two lines of
"Sensualité" (Recueil Les Syrtes) by Jean Moréas: ["Listen no more to the plaintive bow lamenting / Like a dying woodpigeon along the bowling greens.]"
