Andante con moto

Solo Piano

Centennial Commission

About

I find myself drawn toward what the piano offers in the way of expressing multiple voices in synchronicity, the pursuit of which has generated a cornucopia of ideas alongside whatever prime element has generated them. The variety of ideas that promulgate my creative process carries the possibility of moving even basic ideas into circumstances of unforeseen complexity. I made a concerted effort in this piece to espouse a deliberate simplicity, but also with a special emphasis on refining my ability to convey to the performer, in notation, the specific kind of expressions each gesture in the composition requires.
