This work is my first significant composition for solo piano. Completed late in 2013, it was premiered by the incredible Choo Choo Hu at the Peabody Conservatory on 5 February 2014. This is the live recording from that premier in Griswold Hall. I am so grateful to Choo Choo for the time she spent on this virtuosic piece! Thank you!
Program note:
“Nocturne” began as a short compositional étude but it grew quickly into something far more substantial. Over the course of about 10 minutes, this virtuosic work assembles and explores melodic and harmonic motives in hopes of creating an expansive musical space.
