    In preparation for writing a large (uncompleted) work for piano, I decided to write three short pieces to get certain musical tics out of my system. Each of these three e\u00cc\u0081tudes addresses a specific rhythmic and harmonic gesture: the first, Ostinati<\/em>, focuses on a gently lilting left hand contrasted with angular outbursts in the right hand, usually in octaves. The second e\u00cc\u0081tude, “Quiet Music,”\u009d concerns itself with drones and chant-like music, and the third, “Running,”\u009d explores slowly shifting harmonies pitted against very fast cross-hand playing. These three e\u00cc\u0081tudes were written from January “\u201d March 2003 and were composed partially for performance in the VisionIntoArt \/ RockHotelPianoFest in New York City. quiet-music_1.jpg <\/a>These three e\u00cc\u0081tudes were written from January “\u201d March 2003 and were composed partially for performance in the VisionIntoArt RockHotelPianoFest in New York City.
