Agitations for Two Pianos is a two-piano version by Fitz Patton of Richard Wilson's orchestral piece of that title. Richard Wilson and Blanca Uribe, pianists

Richard Wilson's PERSUASIONS is a solo cantata with instrumental interludes. There are six sections, three of which (sections 2, 4, and 6) are settings of love poems by Thomas Carew (c. 1595- c. 1639).

1. Prelude

2. Lips and Eyes

3. Interlude: Duo

4. Mediocrity in Love Rejected

5. Interlude: Solo

6. Secrecy Protested

In addition to the soprano, four players employ a total of six instruments--alto flute, oboe, English horn, bassoon, contrabassoon, and harpsichord--but in ensembles of different size and makeup, ranging from solo harpsichord in part 5, to a quartet of alto flute, oboe, bassoon and harpsichord in part 6. No two sections have the same instrumentation. The purely instrumental portions provide contrast of mood and style but are not thematically related to each other or to the vocal settings.

In this recording, taken from Albany Records TROY 074, the performers are: Amy Burton, soprano, Blanca Uribe, harpsichord, John Solum, alto flute, Marc Schachman, oboe and English horn, and Gilbert Dejean, bassoon and contrabassoon.
