![]() Peter Child: Reviews: Tableaux II Composed 1992, for flute doubling alto flute and piccolo, Bb clarinet doubling A, and bass clarinets, violin, cello, percussion and piano. The Boston Globe, Wednesday March 5, 1997: Peter Child's "Tableaux II" (1992) for six players offered cooler,
more analytic pleasures. A sure but delicate hand
is evident in its instrumental twinnings, its way of having its
music-stuff cohere or pile up additively. Though perfectly
self-sufficient it also worked as a sort of privileged glimpse into
the craftsman's workshop. As must be obvious, all the performances
were on a very high level. This one surely goes onto the list of
1997's best concerts.
