JOHN ADAMS PHRYGIAN GATES for piano (Copyright © 1983 Arcocated Music Publishers, Ine, New York AILRight Reser No part of this 6 ASSOCIATED MUSIC PUBLISH ERS New York/LondonPhrygian Gates was composed in 1977-78 for the pianist Mack McCray and funded by a group of the Board of Trustees of the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, and was first performed on March 17, 1978 in Hellman Hall, San Francisco. PERFORMANCE NOTES. ™ Special attention should be given to equalizing the volume of both hands so that no single pattern ever dominates another. Never at any point should one hand become “primary” and the other “secondary.” Likewise, in « repeated pattern, care should be given so that no single note predominates over the others. (Given the resonant idiosyncracies of the piano, some pitches will appear louder than others. Hence the pianist must listen care- fully and constantly adjust the weight of attacks.) Marks (double-stemmed notes which indicate structural points) should not neces- sarily be played louder than their context, except where indicated. 'm Pedaling indications are given as ideals; individual adjustments should be made with these in mind. afor Mack McCray PHRYGIAN GATES.
