ANTONIO  CORREA  MOUNTAIN  INTERVALS  (I)    
For  piano  
 

 
 Slave to a springtime passion for the earth.
How Love burns through the Putting in the Seed
On through the watching for that early birth
When, just as the soil tarnishes with weed…

Robert Frost

1. For a while: Come up (by any means of your choosing) a collection of dyads to be
played one after the other in various orders. Take into consideration that the number of
dyads cannot be so large as to impede the idea of repetition and stasis to emerge. Play
always slowly and softly. Durations are free for each dyad. You may rest as often as
you consider necessary. Use right pedal throughout.
Silence.

2. For a while: Single notes. Use the same gamut of pitches again and again, creating
small gestures that are genetically connected. Every now and then, introduce a different
note to be played simultaneously with one of the single notes you have been playing all
along. All the notes are to be played softly. Use the right pedal, or not…
Silence.

3. For a while: Select major third on the low register of the instrument, and play it again
and again, with the right pedal depressed throughout. All iterations of the third should
be (rather) soft. Subtle rhythmic variation on the iterations is encouraged. Small pauses
here and there.
Silence.

4. For a while: A melody with no accompaniment.

Silence.
