Cain and Abel: War Dances for Prepared Piano is the second contemporary composition by the experimental pianist Christian Grifa, transcribed and set to music by paraphrasing bold sequences of notes on the score, along the lines of those of the previous composition, which develop in an anachronistic way the most classic of the biblical episodes after the creation of Man through God (the death and the killing of Abel at the hands of his brother Cain), and at the same time outline sacred, profane, philosophical and historical themes, highlighting the interesting archetypal reasoning that gravitates around the orbit of the same episode, on the which still today the man reflects, and asks himself important questions, without however being able to find a precise answer, bringing back to the mind and to the listener’s ear a reflection of the key musical theme of the previous piano piece prepared “Hymn to the Earth”.
