piano works #2
This album follows on from 'Piano Works' (Mogno J039), released in 2010.In contrast with Volume 1, Charles Loos is not the only artist featured performing his works on this new album. Although he plays his own 'Autumn Variations' himself, he also asked the young classical pianist Elise Fosty to record 'Suite in A' (in 8 movements), which he composed for Elise's pupils back in 2020. The Suite itself is formally written down in full, whereas the Variations are totally improvised. And, unlike the more usual structure of theme + variation, they do not have any particular theme at all. They are total improvisation throughout, with different rhythms, keys and grooves based on a harmonic framework that some listeners will recognise.
