Opus 17
A two-minute Baroque-leaning piano piece that Marie Antoinette made his best-known.
Dustin O'Halloran, from Piano Solos (2004)
The piece first appears on Piano Solos at 2:02. Apple Music's notes quote him calling it Baroque-inspired, built on counterpoint and influenced by Scarlatti and Bach, and Textura heard in its Vorleben performance all of the grace and delicacy of a long-lost Bach composition. Deezer lists that live take at 1:58. On Silfur (2021) it appears twice: as a piano piece and as "Opus 17 (String Quartet Version)", 3:24, played by the Siggi String Quartet, the only piece he felt suited a quartet because of its counterpoint. Clash noted that the string version sounds very Baroque. Our upload is most likely the live Berlin take, though we could not confirm it. We found no chart, cover or sample data and no explanation of the numbering.
