About the creation

Triptyque – three pieces for piano which share the tonality of A. the work is almost entirely based on the mirror-inversion technique: the voices move in opposite directions and almost always et equal intervals and thus modes or fragments of modes make their appearance. Invention – a brief theme with variations; Scherzino – A-B-A form in which double counterpoints appear at various intervals; Toccata – its form approaches rondo form (A-B-B-A) with transitional interludes between the sections. The work was composed in 1963 and was first performed by the pianist Herut Yisraeli in 1965.
