-----------------------------

Michael Laurence Nyman, CBE (born 23 March 1944) is an English composer of minimalist music, pianist, librettist and musicologist, known for the many film scores he wrote during his lengthy collaboration with the filmmaker Peter Greenaway, and his multi-platinum soundtrack album to Jane Campion's The Piano. His operas include The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat, Letters, Riddles and Writs, Noises, Sounds & Sweet Airs, Facing Goya, Man and Boy: Dada, Love Counts, and Sparkie. He has written six concerti, four string quartets, and many other chamber works, many for his Michael Nyman Band, with and without whom he tours as a performing pianist. Nyman has stated his preference for writing opera to other sorts of music.

MGV, or Musique à Grande Vitesse - High-Speed Music is a 1993 musical composition. It was commissioned by the Festival de Lille for the inauguration of the TGV North-European Paris-Lille line and was first performed by the Michael Nyman Band and the Orchestre national de Lille under Jean-Claude Casadesus on 26 September 1993. See:

The Piano Concerto is based entirely on material selected from the soundtrack for Jane Campion's film The Piano. That score was written in two phases: the solo piano music was composed for Holly Hunter (who played Ada, a pianist in the film) in the autumn of 1991; the orchestral score, partly derived from the piano music, after the film was completed in the summer of 1992. The Piano Concerto, commissioned by the Festival of Lille, was composed in spring 1993 and first performed by Kathryn Stott with the Orchestre national de Lille under Jean-Claude Casadesus on september 26, 1993, along with the premiere of MGV.
