Beschreibung
Pianist Lisa Moore has an extraordinary charisma and energy at her
instrument, with a kind of musical laser focus that I find tremendously
inspiring. I wanted to write her a set of pieces that would play to her
wonderful range and character as a performer. So I decided to write pieces in
the spirit of etudes: each focuses on a different type of playing or
technique or pianistic color. There is one odd piece out: the 'dream,' which
is in no way an etude. This 'dream' came about when I was looking after
Lisa's petunias while she was away from home. Unfortunately, her petunias
languished and died. Feeling very bad, I wrote a piece to commemorate the
poor flowers that had perished in my care. The set of pieces as a whole is
playful, energetic, and sometimes dark and contemplative. It is a work which
reflects my deep admiration for Lisa's musicianship and playing. Hannah Lash
