Études 1-3 (2016)
(for piano solo)

These études are studies in both a compositional and pianistic sense. Each focuses on a particular type of musical material or structure while posing technical challenges to the pianist designed to strengthen specific aspects of performance practice. The titles, which appear at the end in the manner of the Debussy Préludes, allude, at times obliquely, to the subject of each study.
