These pieces utilise Abelian form, a concept I developed whereby the proportions of a large form were reflected in its constituent parts. A large form, for instance, has sections A, B, C, D, and E, with respective durations t1, t2, t3, t4, t5. A, B, C, D, E also have subsections whose proportions are also t1, t2, t3, t4, t5. We can designate the subsections of A as Aa, Ab, Ac, Ad and Ae, and similarly for the others. The whole process can be shown in the following table: Aa Ab Ac Ad Ae Ba Bb Bc Bd Be Ca Cb Cc Cd Ce Da Db Dc Dd De Ea Eb Ec Ed Ee This looks like a mathematical Abelian Group – hence the name. The durations of subsections symmetrically placed about the leading diagonal (Aa, Bb, Cc, Dd and Ee) are also equal because duration of Ab = duration of Ba, duration of Ac = duration of Ca, etc. This fact led me to use the same material in matching subsections, often mirrored. In PIANO POEMS 1, 4, 8 and 9 I use this form; although the proportions are all equal, the Abelian shape determines the order. 1 Abelian form (3 X 3 matrix) with overlaps 2 a mirror piece 3 a chance piece: the contents of the four different chords and their order and the interruptions by the fist rolls were all determined by chance 4 Abelian form (4 X 4 matrix): all sections are four bars long. Subsection Ab is the mirror of subsection Bb, etc 5 Free form 6 Bogen form: A, B, C, C’, B’, A’, where A’ is the augmentation of A, etc 7 Free variations on a short melody 8 Abelian form (3 X 3 matrix): all repetitions are shortened 9 Abelian form (4 X 4 matrix) using fragments from sections 1 to 8

Pleasant Point – Rag Verismo is the second version of a piece with this title, the first being an embarrassingly youthful effort. Pleasant Point is a very small township (consisting mostly of cottages) just outside of Timaru, a small town on the southern end of the South Island of New Zealand. It was here during summers that I often spent what were my happiest memories of living in New Zealand. I stayed with one of the friends of my mother, Myra Vance, who became a sort of surrogate Grandmother. Everything in her house was historical; the house, the wind-up gramophone, the books and bookshelves, the harmonium, the beds, furniture and garden. At Myra’s cottage (in Pleasant Point itself) there was another wind-up gramophone with some old Enrico Caruso records; arguably one of my first musical experiences. For that reason, the entire melodic and harmonic foundation of this rag is based on the Vesti la Gubbia arioso from Leoncavallo’s opera Pagliacci (which I have never heard Caruso sing, but it is nevertheless the arioso with which he is most strongly associated) and you will hear quotes and references to it everywhere, especially in the second section. Myra Vance, like Grandma Moses, started painting late in life, and though now in her eighties, has had several exhibitions, some internationally. This one is dedicated to her.
