about

In the late 1960’s, influenced by Steve Reich’s recent music, Philip Glass composed a number of rigorously minimal pieces, including "Two Pages for Steve Reich." The work uses a similar pattern to Reich’s Piano Phase (1967). Instead of a six-note pattern looped at different rates, however, Glass used a process where fragments of a five-note pattern would be frequently added and removed to create changing rhythms. Glass and Reich performed in each other’s ensembles, but quarreled over who had done what first and by 1971 eventually stopped speaking. Reich took offense at the fact that Glass shortened the title to Two Pages, as if to deny Reich’s influence. Glass, for his part, seems to have resented Reich’s lofty intellectual reputation, the tendency of critics to identify Reich as the serious one and himself as the more commercial artist.
