Steve Reich's exposure to Terry Riley's revolutionary work In C inspired him to follow in Riley's footsteps and he was soon to become one of Minimalism's key exponents. Donald Macleod explores the development of Reich's music from the austerity of Piano Phase to the action-packed portrait of New York in City Life.
