Minori (2022)

SOLO

Duration: ca. 10' m

INSTRUMENTATION

pnf

Minori was composed in New Haven, Connecticut and completed in January of 2022

​

The minor mode can evoke a wide range of emotions: melancholy and lament; storm and stress; anger and aggression, to mention but a few. In my piece Minori for piano solo I wanted to explore this bewildering array ad absurdum. Juxtaposing short ‘clips’ derived from a single minor sonority, I sought to create a temperamental collage of musical emotions in which gestures alternate so rapidly until they eventually lose their affective impact and become empty placeholders for emotion.
