Short Ride in a Fast Machine 阿當斯約翰 4手聯彈(含以上) 博浩版
克莉絲蒂娜-桑普（Christina &）、蜜雪兒-諾頓（Michelle Naughton）的注釋，這首曲子是獻給她的，她為華納經典錄製了這首曲子：除了是管弦樂曲的精彩改編之外，四手聯彈版本的《短途旅行》在四手聯彈鋼琴曲目中也應佔有重要地位。就像黑白照片可以捕捉到彩色照片中不易察覺的美感和細節一樣，將這首精彩的管弦樂曲改編成鋼琴曲，也能展現出這部傑作在節奏和音調方面的更多特點。[當我們開始演奏這部作品時，我們驚訝地發現，它不僅在聽覺上描繪了一幅 "短程旅行 "的畫面，而且當我們並排坐在鋼琴前時，我們感覺全身的每一根骨頭都在 "短程旅行"，這讓演奏者和聽眾都興奮不已。- 穆雷-麥克拉克蘭，《國際鋼琴》"

原文簡介:
Note by Christina & Michelle Naughton, to whom the piece is dedicated and who recorded it for Warner Classics:In addition to being a brilliant adaption of the orchestral piece, the four-hand version of Short Ride independently deserves a prominent place in the four-hand piano repertoire. Just as a black and white photo can capture beauty and detail not readily apparent in colour, transcribing the spectacular orchestration to piano alone reveals additional rhythmic and tonal aspects of this masterpiece. [
] When we began performing the work we experienced with surprise that not only does it paint an aural picture of a Short Ride; when sitting side by side at the piano it feels as though every bone in our body is being taken on a 'short ride in a fast machine' that is exhilarating for the performer and listener alike.Virtuoso piano duos need look no further in search of new bravura material for their next recital. - Murray McLachlan, International Piano
