He was 24 years old, learning the work over the course of 130 days. Huang later repeated the performance at the DiMenna Center in New York City; a link to the latter thus follows:* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yErohs2z0-g Written from 1935 through 1938, the Symphonic Variations for piano solo are the iconoclastic English composer Kaikhosru Shapurji Sorabji's summum of his work for the instrument. He dedicated this most ambitious of works to his friend and supporter, the English copyist and amateur watercolour artist Edward Clarke Ashworth (1903-1979). Sorabji (né Leon Dudley Sorabji) was both an enigmatic and enormously prolific composer and writer. He conceived his œuvre over almost three-quarters of a century; he was born in Chingford to an Indian father and English (allegedly Spanish-Sicilian mother) and died in Winfrith Newburgh at the age of 96. An autodidact, Sorabji embarked within the footsteps of composer-pianists amongst the ilk of Ferruccio Busoni, Charles-Valentin Alkan, Claude Debussy, Karol Szymanowski and Maurice Ravel. His fame stems from his works of inconceivable dimensions, formidable difficulty and technical intricacy, ranging from eloquent yet ephemeral aphoristic fragments to gargantuan and intimidating sonate, symphonies, concerti and cycles of variations for keyboard instruments and orchestral forces - of which these Variations are the longest. The Variations themselves, divided into three tomes (1-27, 28-54, 55-81) constitute some of the longest and most daunting pieces to perform in the entire musical sphere: its holograph runs 484 pages. Approximating eight hours in duration, the Symphonic Variations have never been performed in their entirety. In spite of this, selected variations and sections of the piece have been performed both in concert and in studio by Michael Habermann and Chappell Kingsland (lvi.) as well as Tellef Johnson (xxvii. The Garden of Iram; xxxiv. Quasi Raga). From 1938 through 1956 did the composer attempt to orchestrate the Variations. However, he completed only the first volume, albeit in a rather heterodox manner: its preamble is an orchestral 'Introitus' of twenty-two minutes; following this, the work's soloist seems to have barely any room to give their hands rest, playing continuously with the orchestra seeming more a complement than an equal party to the piano. This video displays a facsimilé of the manuscript (conserved in the Paul Sacher Foundation in Basel, Switzerland), then the typeset score of the work's theme. One may purchase the full score and a full facsimilé of the holograph, with the rest of this theme's variations, from the Sorabji Archive (sorabji-archive.co.uk).
