for tonight and for ever (2020)
after Sade (Adu) and Debussy
for piano (with e-bow)
This piece was commissioned for a project called “The Illustrated Pianist”, responding to stories from The Illustrated Man by Ray Bradbury. “for tonight and for ever” is a reflection on love at the end of the world, inspired by “The Last Night of the World”, and by “Winter” by Chen Chen. It is based on a song by Sade, and a prelude by Debussy.
