*Tangents* derives its name from divergent musical lines that seem to arrive and depart from a musical center, much like fragments of thoughts that tangentially pass through conversations. – RW




### Reviews of Tangents – for piano

“…the endless droopings of ‘Tangents’ are, in Worthington’s words, “fragments of thoughts that tangentially pass through conversations” – a Joycean conceit subtly realized.” – Jack Sullivan, (American Record Guide, January/February 2010)
