Kyle Gann:
Commentary on Hope and Meaninglessness (1973)

for piano

Its sophomoric title notwithstanding, Commentary on Hope and Meaninglessness was the best piece I wrote in high school. The influence most in evidence is that of Carl Ruggles, with a touch of Aaron Copland.

World premiere: May 18, 1973, Skyline High School, Dallas
