Beyond
Twelve 2012 Concert Tour
Beyond Twelve / reinventing the piano
presented by UnTwelve and MicroFest
Aron Kallay, piano
For nearly two hundred years the piano’s design has been exactly the same: 12 keys/7 times, low-to-high/left-to-right. Period. But why 12...? Why left-to-right...? What if......
Beyond Twelve is a project that uses state-of-the-art physical modeling technology to break free from the constraints of this design—and the piano will never be the same again.
Concert pianist and MicroFest assistant director Aron Kallay commissioned new works from eight of America’s most imaginative composers, with two ground rules: 1) Re-tune the keyboard, from extended just intonation to 88 equal-divisions of the octave and everything in between. 2) Re-map the keyboard, left can be right, high can be low; pitches need not be linear.
The concerts feature these inventive and visionary new works by Isaac Schankler, Brian Shepard, Kyle Gann, Aaron K. Johnson, Jason Heath, John Schneider, Vera Ivanova, and Tom Flaherty.
