Summary:

"In "Piano Rolls Flute," a player-piano (pianola), weary of being forced to play its old piano-rolls - a nostalgic Tango and a laid-back Paraguayan Guarania - begins to "invent" its own music. Meanwhile, a flutist playing along tries to keep pace, grappling with the unfolding performance. As the piece progresses, the piano seizes control, leading the flutist to conclude the work with a joyful, fast-paced Latin dance.Though no notes are improvised, the piece's form appears spontaneous and whimsical. The two instruments frequently interrupt each other, diverge in direction, or play simultaneously contrasting music at different tempos.Miguel del Águila notes: "My goal was to write a piece that appears to write itself spontaneously as the music plays. The piano-rolls symbolize those persistent, involuntary thoughts that disrupt our reality by replaying past events and memories, often negative. The upbeat Caribbean-inspired dance that the pianola aspires to represents 'the moment' or reality, liberated from such negative thoughts. Piano Rolls Flute" was premiered by April Clayton and Miguel del Águila in August 2024 at the National Flute Convention in San Antonio, TX." -- Provided by composer.
