General Information

Navigation etc.

These two pieces are very free and improvisitory. I began the 2nd one in 1972 and recently found it and added to it and completed it in 2023. "Intro" was the name I gave to the first piece. Later I wrote an piece and didn't give it a name until 2023. "Intro" is very free-form and improvised. It repeats a couple of measures with a little development. Out of the noise you will hear the children's taunt, "Nyah, nyah, nyah, nyah, etc." This is all part of the silliness. "Intro 2": If you've heard my pieces "Intro" and "Etude" you hear a similarity of style here. Here is the same freedom of improvisation from my mind to some score paper. I have often created music without ever hearing it performed beforehand. This aspect of my compositional style results in some real freshness of inspiration. I really haven't lost it, though I feared I might. Most composers in their older years have trouble retaining youthful freshness in their pieces. I think my music is still fresh and yet can be sagacious. I found this incomplete score in early 2023 and decided to put into Finale to find out what it sounded like. I had forgotten it existed. The score says "Fast Section" at the top, so maybe it was supposed to be the second section in "Impossible Solitude" since it immediately followed in the same spiral score book. I wrote this in 1972 when I was about 18. I don't know how I went from composing my "Invention" and 4 Dances in the style of J.S. Bach to such extremely modern music in the same year. I think I hear some reflection of Prokofiev, though I doubt that I had heard much (or maybe any) of his music by that time.
