Abstract

In 1972 I gave the Australian premiere of Messiaen's 'Four Studies in Rhythm' during the Adelaide Festival of Arts, and my performance was reviewed by John Horner for 'The Adelaide Advertiser'. Although to his credit Horner recognized the work as a major contribution by Messiaen to the piano repertoire, he thought that its effect on the audience was similar to that of a "minor earthquake".
