''Solo Piano'' (1989) is an album of piano music composed and performed by Philip Glass. It was produced by Kurt Munkacsi. The title of five of the seven tracks, "Metamorphosis", refers to and was inspired by the 1915 short story ''The Metamorphosis'' by Franz Kafka. While all pieces were written in 1988, some were written for a staging of ''Metamorphosis'', while others were for a documentary film called ''The Thin Blue Line'' directed by Errol Morris. "Mad Rush" was written in 1979 and is based on an earlier organ piece; it was later used by the choreographer Lucinda Childs. The title of the last composition is a reference to Allen Ginsberg's poem ''Wichita Vortex Sutra'', and was composed, in collaboration with Ginsberg, for both a reading and recording of the poem. The piano pieces on the album have been recorded by other artists, notably Bruce Brubaker. "Metamorphosis One" is played in an episode of ''Battlestar Galactica'' by Kara "Starbuck" Thrace; in-universe, her father composed and performed the piece. "Metamorphosis Two" formed the basis of one of the main musical themes in the film ''The Hours''. It is also the song that the American rock band Pearl Jam uses as their introduction music to concerts. ==Track listing== All tracks composed and arranged by Philip Glass. #"Metamorphosis One" – 5:41 #"Metamorphosis Two" – 7:22 #"Metamorphosis Three" – 5:33 #"Metamorphosis Four" – 7:01 #"Metamorphosis Five" – 5:10 #"Mad Rush" – 13:48 #"Wichita Vortex Sutra" – 6:53 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Solo Piano (Philip Glass album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
