1. Dead Moth Tango - Dennis Russell Davies, dedication
2. Knock Stuck - Curtis Curtis Smith, dedication
3. Abracadabra - For Abba Bogan's Birthday
The pianist isn't listed but I think this might be Barry Snyder playing them from the recording on Vox, a recording which also has William Bolcom playing his great Piano Concerto, so it shouldn't be allowed to go out of circulation.
These are some of my favorite pieces, the tango is so darkly colored, it sparkles like anthracite, the Knock Stuck, is a piece I remember my niece couldn't keep from dancing to when she was four, the last movement is full of tricks. too.
