Incanto 04, for two pianos (or 2 pianos 8 hands) Written in 2011 Jeroen van Veen
Incanto is a series of compositions for two or more keyboards based on a minimal motive. The music develops slowly, using various techniques as speeding, slowing, while the main drone is going on the whole time. The repetitions preferably are to be played all differently using accents, colors and pedal at the performers choice. The result is a journey toward the changing sound of instruments. I wrote the piece for piano, but they can be played at any keyboard instrument, or combination. The name Incanto refers to my first coffee machine, that had a specific sound and continuous rhythm.
