Three Piano Pieces
Solo piano
6 minutes
Difficulty level: Professional or student
These pieces were written for and with pianist Catarina Domenici. We met over a
discussion of composer-performer collaboration, and worked together on the
writing of these pieces together over a period of 15 months. Work on the pieces
took place in parallel with a discussion of the nature of such joint working in both
theoretical and practical terms. Although I have described myself as the
composer of the pieces, they reflect her extensive input, and would be markedly
different had they been written without a performer's involvement, or if working
with a different performer. The three pieces are marked: Scherzo, Espressivo,
and Moto Imperpetuo.
