Slipshod Piano Duet - PDF

Quirky, energetic, and interesting advanced recital music.

Slipshod was commissioned by choreographer/videographer Victoria Uris in 1991 as the soundtrack for a film performed by dance majors on top of a parking garage at Ohio State University. Musically, the piece is based on two contrasting ideas: a fast, repeated note figure and four jagged quarter notes that are developed and loosely spun together in variations named: Exposition, Herd of Thirds, Kerplunk School, Raucous Roll, Salt & Pepper, False Waltz, Scale Olympics, and Accumulation Disorder. Listeners may find it interesting to identify these sections in the music as you listen. About 6:00 minutes length.
