Library shelf no. 786.2/DNE 3 [Available for loan]
Work Overview
Etude in 2 parts is a brief and fast-paced dive into the world of the piano etude. Each of the two parts explores the different aspects of the challenges held within musical repetition, pattern and process, presented in a frenetic flow of notes. part 1 tackles the challenges of embedded polyrhythms and polymeter, adding in layers of new pitches pulsing at differing ratios into the running stream of notes, then becoming subsumed as a moto-perpetuo around which chords emerge. part 2 in turn looks at exact repetition, consistency of attack and sound, and sudden variations to a pattern, with small repeated cells suddenly shifting, or adding or subtracting pitches, with minute changes occurring seaming randomly and the sense of pulse or beat constantly being re-established by the changes in cell length.
