Norris had his own little idiosyncrasies, too. As the soloist in the "virtuoso" Piano Concerto No. 1 in G Minor and the Capriccio Brillant, Op. 22, which together made up half of the program, Norris was the main event. He had obviously established a rapport with the music and was excited about performance. There were flourishes in his music and motions.

Though Alanis has matured and found newtextures for her lyrics, a few minor changes mightmake her music even more effective. At times,SFIJ besieges the listener with a torrentof words.
