  • Epigrams Clip

Epigrams consists of twelve short movements for piano trio. Like the ancient Greek literary form on which they are modeled, the movements are characterized by surprising and witty changes of direction and mood. Epigrams was Elliott Carter’s final composition, completed in the spring and summer of 2012 and premiered posthumously on June 22, 2013 at the Aldeburgh festival by Pierre-Laurent Aimard, piano, and members of the Birmingham Contemporary Music Group.
