Year: 2011 | Type: Four-movement work for solo piano | Duration: ca. 9'
This piece is a piano reduction of my woodwind octet of the same name, which draws inspiration from H.G. Wells' science fiction novel, The Time Machine. The title of the composition, as well as the names of its four movements, allude to the novel's storyline in which a 19th-century scientist travels to the distant future, discovering two distinct species: the beautiful and peaceful Eloy and the grotesque, subterranean Morlocks who fear the light.
Notes:
This work was premiered in 2012 by the Peruvian pianist María del Carmen Espinosa, in a recital held at the PUCP Cultural Center, Lima, Peru.
I later revised the score and made several changes. Therefore, I have decided to upload a digital recreation instead of the premiere recording.
Since the original version for woodwind octet is managed by Cayambis Music Press, the score for the piano version is only available with their permission. If you are interested in performing this work, please contact me and I will arrange the necessary permissions with the publisher.
