Program notes

"A Breath of Wind": In the opening section, bring out the long phrase in the lower part which serves as a "counterpoint" to the accompanying figures above. The opening figuration should be thought of as airy and light.

"Who Will Dance with Me?": The opening statement of the all-important motive should not be hurried or trivialized. Indeed, this motive is an important formal entity and should always be projected with clarity where it occurs. The dance-like section should be free in spirit, flowing, with subtle fluctuations in the basic tempo.

"I Make the Storms": This has some whimsy in it but do not let this feature detract from creating the impression of an exciting storm. The Wagnerian motive (thank you, Richard) must be noble, distinct, and will-defined wherever it occurs. Some areas are more difficult to execute than others; do not attempt to play these textures in strict tempo. Take a bit of time to allow the detail to be heard, the impression to be rendered effectively, then gracefully find your way back to the more propelling tempo. Emphasize the lower lines where they are clearly significant.

Feel free to use rubato throughout the work. I prefer this approach to strict metronomic interpretation.

—John Pozdro; Lawrence, Kansas; October 1996
