The work is in three movements:
Part 1A (fast)
Part 1B (slow)
'On The Dominant Divide' (fast)
According to the composer,"True, it was a very shaky performance, and the piece came at the end of a long series of concerts, many of which featured serialist works from the Columbia Princeton school....Grand Pianola Music must have seemed like a smirking truant with a dirty face, in need of a severe spanking"
ps: Civilization IV OSt
