This piano solo was composed by William Bolcom in 1987 for the occasion of George Rochberg’s 70th birthday. It is comprised of the Rochberg theme and seven variations.
William Bolcom's newest premiere will be a work for sextet, aptly entitled Sextet, drawing upon the instrumentation of Bohuslav Martinů's La revue de cuisin for clarinet, bassoon, trumpet, violin, cello, and piano.
