Released in 1982, Glassworks by Philip Glass is widely regarded as the definitive entry point into minimalism. Designed specifically to bring the movement to a mainstream audience, it remains Glass's best-selling record. The album consists of six movements structured to fluctuate between contemplative solo piano and high-energy ensemble work. The album is bookended by variations of the same theme. "Opening" is a delicate, melancholic piano solo featuring triplet eighth notes over duple eighth notes. "Closing" reprises this theme with a lush, soft-edged orchestration.
