Defining Contemporary Piano Music

  • piano sounds derived from anything with a cord attached
  • a composition performed on an out of tune piano (included for my personal taste)
  • the strings of a piano struck with fingers
  • the addition of metallic items connected to the piano hammers
  • repetition of notes and theme to a large degree
  • zero repetition of notes or theme
  • free improvisation
  • composition with inordinate attention to sequential methods
  • focus on placement of silence and space
