Описание: THE TWENTY ETUDES FOR PIANO were composed during the years from 1991 to 2012. Their final configuration into Book 1 and Book 2 was determined by the music itself in the course of its composition.
Book 1 (Etudes 1-10) had a twin objective - to explore a variety of tempi, textures and piano techniques. At the same time it was meant to serve as a pedagogical tool by which I would improve my piano playing. In these two ways, Book 1 succeeded very well. I learned a great deal about the piano and in the course of learning the music, I became a better player.
New projects came along and interrupted the work on the Etudes for several years. Perhaps for that reason, when I took up work with the Etudes again I found the music was following a new path. Though I had settled questions of piano technique for myself in Book 1, the music in Book 2 quickly began to suggest a series of new adventures in harmony and structure.
In this way, Books 1 and 2, taken together, suggest a real trajectory that includes a broad range of music and technical ideas.
In the end, the Etudes are meant to be appreciated not only by the general listener, but especially by those who have the ability and patience to learn, play and perform the music themselves.

Описание: In the Beginning the Dance is about: The healing of three generations of a spirited but dysfunctional Pueblo family. The eldest generation, Simon, calls upon the tribe's medicine woman for healing and, in the process, affords the entire community a chance to heal and re-empower itself. His son, Frank, is a talented substance-abusing Indian performance poet and musician. His anger is assuaged when he learns the truth about his mother's death. Simon's grandson, Dayone, shifts from drugs and dark, hostile acting-out to tribal respect after a vision quest with his grandfather. The inner struggles of a young Indian woman who gives up a prestigious fellowship at Cambridge to return and study the old ways with the village's 90-year-old medicine woman. The struggles of a brilliant, young Jewish doctor to learn the difference between doctoring and healing, while fencing with his dying grandfather about the current policies of Israel. The attempts by the Feds to convince the tribe to store nuclear waste on tribal lands, which causes a schism between the moderns and the traditionals. Plus a change. In the Beginning the Dance is a present-day, multi-generational intersection of Native American and Jewish themes-conflicting with modernity on a fictional northern New Mexican Pueblo. It is a transformational drama about the power of women, lost and found, about stubborn men and their softening at the hands of their community, about the disconnect between the government and things sacred.
