Summary
The story behind Morris Rosenzweig's "Just One Step Beyond" goes back some 10 years. A dear friend and fellow musician of Rosenzweig's, Margaret McGlynn, had recently passed away. At pianist Susan Bruckner's suggestion, Rosenzweig wrote a piece that would commemorate McGlynn and keep her memory alive among her large circle of friends and acquaintances. "And as it turned out, it's been one of those pieces that has been done quite a bit," Rosenzweig told the Deseret Morning News.
A fairly short piece, "Just One Step Beyond" is a musical portrait of sorts of McGlynn. "It's very episodic and not elegaic," Rosenzweig said. "That wouldn't fit Marg's character at all." The piece, along with Dvorak's String Quartet, op. 77, will be played today at the University of Utah's Sundays@7 series in Libby Gardner Concert Hall.See the full content of this document
