John Farrer [presided] over the Los Angeles premiere of Gordon Getty's Three Waltzes.... The Getty pieces, originally written for piano, turned out to be a very pretty, courtly, melodic, unabashedly diatonic set of miniatures with an occasional bent for the unexpected--like the violent chromatic gusts from the violins in the first waltz. Getty does have his own voice, a reticent, solitary one that keeps the noises from the 20th century at bay but not entirely out of earshot.
