(for ensemble) preface (Numbers of musicians: One might think that “Music for 18 musicians” would require 18 musicians and, of course, that is how my own ensemble played the piece. However, we did this only with the vibraphone player playing the piano 4 (player two) part and with piano 2 playing maracas in on section and so on. These doublings were done so that we could tour with the smallest number of players for economic reasons. Other ensembles playing this piece have used as many as 21 or 22 musicians in order to avoid this kind of doubling. It is entirely up to each ensemble as to how many players they need and/or want to play the piece though generally, the maximum is 22 and minimum 18) Steve Reich WWW site, Apr. 23, 2014 (Music for 18 musicians, for ensemble) |
