Gorb's 24 Preludes follow the examples of Chopin and Shostakovich in describing a cycle of fifths - though his descend, whereas Chopin's and Shostakovich's go up. Like those earlier exemplars, Gorb's are miniature studies of personality and mood - charming, brittle, perky, languorous, bat-flight fast, borderline violent or tender. His Velocity does what it says on the tin: it's a wild, even manic, chase, over rhythmically dislocating ground.
