This is probably the longest single movement I have ever composed, and certainly the
longest for solo piano. It was at a time when I was undertaking to grasp the classic
European forms, such as (in this case) "Sonata" and "theme and variation." The piece
indeed starts out with a rather typical Sonata exposition, moving into a series of variations
on the two themes. The remainder of the piece could be considered "development."
The name "mercury" refers in particular to the transformational passage where one theme
"morphs" into the other: in bar 168 the inverted theme I becomes a series of 1/8 notes at
bar 190, which turn into theme II at bar 197. The title is also a reference to how the themes
are constantly evolving throughout the piece, thinking of the ephemeral, "mercurial" nature
of things.
