At the Edge of a Spiral (2004) by Lior Navok is a 10-minute work for piano four-hands built around recurring motives that intensify as the piece progresses. Inspired by the story of a young man who took his own life, the music reflects obsessive momentum, emotional pressure, and a sudden collapse into a fragile music-box passage, as if capturing the inner world at the edge of a personal spiral. Written for and dedicated to the Silver-Garburg Piano Duo, the piece offers a powerful and evocative addition to the modern piano four-hands repertoire.

Program Notes:

At the Edge of a Spiral for one piano, four hands, is a short journey of built intensity. It is based on a few fragments, motives that are illuminated in different lights each time. The piece starts slowly but increases its intensity and speed as it progresses, utilizing the same motives. While composing the piece, I heard about a young man who threw himself into the river. I tried to imagine what went through his mind and what had brought him to this dead-end. And again, the idea of built intensity, obsessive and uncompromising, came to my mind. At the very end of the piece, there is a sudden drop in intensity followed by a music box passage, as if describing what is going on in the person’s mind right after the jump, right after reaching the edge of his life’s spiral.

At the Edge of a Spiral was written and dedicated to the Silver-Garburg Piano Duo – Sivan Silver and Gil Garburg. The generous support of Miriam and Eliezer Benbassat funded it.
