Work Overview
Little Cataclysms, a collection of five small pieces, plays on ideas of scale and proportion, and a little bit on the melodrama typical of romantic era works, probably the piano trios greatest era. Piano trios naturally lend themselves to large scale works so I wanted to recreate that, just in small timeframes hence the paradox Little Cataclysms.
Little Cataclysms are 5 snapshots of intimate personal disasters, portraying deep seeded memories awoken, reimagined changed or unchanged, then gone, where the reimagining informs the memory in the silence that follows.
