Roughly 17 min long modern piece for two pianos. In classic Adams fashion, there are some really pretty parts, a few quite meh parts, and not many wow parts (technical terms, I know). Up to 6:40 we are graced with a really nice and charming modern piano piece very evocative of Reich's piano works. Past 6:40 though this switches to something much less atmospheric or nuance, to basically the pianists hitting dem keys hard. I find it kind of meh and disruptive tbh. The ensuing section is very pretty though, and reminded me of Glass' emotionality on the piano. The pianos trot along with quite a story-telly evocative progression. The last quarter of the piece alas goes back to some more syncopated, agressive bourrin stuff, to then evolve into some mildly dissonant Gershwinesque stuff, neither of which I feel suit the piece or even are much successful. So this particularly, and to a lesser degree due to it being somewhat short the section at 6:60, easily drop this 2 or 3 points. 3.6
