This afternoon at the Cultural Center Amy Briggs played some selections by Kurtag, Ligeti and Pärt. One of the Kurtag chunks was “The Crazy Girl with the Flaxen Hair” that suited Amy perfectly. Debussy should’ve gone to copyright court, but I guess he was dead. Following the Kurtag, were three Etudes by Ligeti separated by the calming “Variationen zur gesundung von Arinuschka” by Pärt before four more by Ligeti, finishing up with “L’escalier du diable”. which was a devil to play, as I saw in Amy’s eyes.
