Solo Piano (Philip Glass album)

"Mad Rush" was written in 1979 and is based on an earlier organ piece; it has been used by choreographers Lucinda Childs and Benjamin Millepied.

[3] "Metamorphosis One" is played in an episode of Battlestar Galactica by Kara "Starbuck" Thrace.

"Metamorphosis Two" formed the basis of one of the main musical themes in the film The Hours.

It is also the song that the American rock band Pearl Jam uses as their introduction music to concerts.

Many pianists have recorded this music subsequently, notably Bruce Brubaker, Sally Whitwell, Lisa Moore, and Valentina Lisitsa.
