Terry Riley, most commonly associated with the minimalist and experimental schools of music, draws influence from a vast number of sources, including jazz and Indian classical music. In turn, his influence on contemporary classical composers is enormous. With Terry Riley: The Piano Works, you can learn a selection of his fascinating, hypnotic and simply stunning compositions for solo Piano.

Terry Riley himself offers an extensive foreword containing fascinating biographical and compositional information. At times humourous and always eloquent, he tells the story of his journey from humble student to creator of masterpieces. At the end of the book Riley also offers a selection of his own handwritten scores, a fascinating insight into his working process and the beauty he sees in the music.

While suited for advanced pianists, there are introductory performance notes for each piece by pianist Sarah Cahill which expound the techniques, skills and experience necessary to master Terry Riley’s compositions.
