| | CD Reviews - Kievman, Carson (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20) |
 | | The third movement is a scherzo, a bitter, mocking dance of death, with various layers of music proceding in juxtaposed layers in the manner of Ives. |
 | | It is a kind of mad music theater, one performing version of this piece requires a page-turning "Butler" and several other "Servants," and the pianist sits on aq spring-supported platform where he also has access to cowbells. |
 | | Blending music with the theatrical, visual, and the literary arts, Kievman has unveiled a transparency to his music that relates to joy, pain, and occasionally, the absurd. |
