The four variations which appear on Bruce's CD Blue Eleven will be recorded as Variations for Orchestra in October of 1996 with the Warsaw Philharmonic. This recording will be released on the MMC label in 1997. |
| The Variations are in 4 movements. Each movement explores 12-tone composition from a slightly different angle. "Variation 1" and Variation 4 come from a traditional direction, i.e. Schoenberg. Variation 2 and Variation 3 use a much looser interpretation of 12-tone theory. |
| In the setting of Blue Eleven, you will find each variation first played as a solo classical piece and then followed by a jazz trio interpretation of the same piece. The mixture of jazz improvisation, 20th century classical composition, as well as blues and rock influences make this recording quite unique.Below is an excerpt of Variation 3 or Variation 4 for classical guitar. |
