Piano and orchestra converse in different chords like different dialects and at different tempos; swatches of sound appear in what seem desultory then frantic patterns; and at times the script calls for practically the whole Boston Symphony to damp down the valiant lone pianist, Jacob Lateiner-which seems particularly unfair since he (with a grant from the Ford Foundation) commissioned the work in the first place...
