PROGRAM NOTES
Walking down a busy, diverse city street can be quite a varying experience at different times of day. The people change, the moods change, our paces and focus change, and what we notice and linger on changes, even though the structures remain the same.
9 Walks Down 7th Avenue treats its cluster of thematic ideas in the same way. It is built similarly to a theme and variations and may sound like a rondo, but it's really a series of 9 different shapings of the opening kaleidoscopic rush of contrasting ideas, much like a series of walks down New York's 7th Avenue.
REVIEWS
"Daniel Dorff's 9 Walks Down 7th Avenue has more than a clever title going for it. While the title suggests New York and Gershwin or Bernstein, the music sounds more like Paris and Poulenc. It is witty and sophisticated music."
– P.E.R., La Scene Musicale (Paris), December 2010
"Monsieur Dorff, your piece is very beautiful but you've titled it wrong. It should be called '9 Walks Down the Avenue des Champs-Élysées'."
– French man sitting in front of me at the premiere, April 18, 2004
