British Composer Jim Aitchison's New Work to be Played Across Four Venues...at the Same Time!

Composer Jim Aitchison clearly likes a challenge. Writing a one-piano work for a traditional concert hall is clearly for lightweights. Because he has written a piece for no fewer than four pianos, at the Royal Academy of Music. And, er, the Falmouth Academy of Music and Theatre Arts. And Yamaha Music London. And, finally, Goldsmiths University. It is quite a technological feat, and it's even more complex that that sounds, as International Piano magazine has reported.
