António Pinho VargasAntónio Pinho Vargas: Mirrors performed at Other Minds 5, 1999 (March 26, 1999)

This audio is available in streaming format

Gloria Cheng performs the U.S. premiere of António Pinho Vargas' composition Mirrors (1989) at the Other Minds Music Festival in 1999 at the Cowell Theater in San Francisco.

Gloria Cheng, piano

According to Pinho Vargas:
Mirrors was written in Amsterdam while I was studying with Klaas de Vries. The title being in a language other than Portuguese is related to this fact.

In Mirrors I made use for the last time of a twelve-note series, but with what lack of discipline! So it is a musical gesture of a very un-German kind.

In the second of the three pieces, perhaps the strictest piece I have so far written, I employ octatonic scales, which I knew well from jazz, and a polyrythm of accents within a regular beat which I was able to use for the first time.
- António Pinho Vargas
