about

Five new works for piano that celebrate simplicity on the surface, but below teem with sly twists and sleight-of-hand, towards small moments of deep strangeness and feeling. David's sensitivity and understanding shines in this performance, but I wrote these pieces for less brilliant pianists than him, too - amateur and lapsarian pianists like me. So I encourage you not just to listen to these, but to get a copy of the score and put your hands on a few bars. (Drop $21 in the jar and I'll send you a PDF).
