Currently, I am preparing a series of articles on Hans Abrahamsen’s Ti studier (Ten Studies) for piano (1984 – 98), Unsuk Chin’s six etudes for piano (1995 – 2003), and Pascal Dusapin’s cycle of Seven Etudes for piano (1998 – 2001). As this is a work-in-progress, feel free to get in touch with me about this work.
A series of short essays intermingling writing on contemporary music, recordings of previously unrecorded works, lesser-known composers and performers, obscure scholarship, ephemeralia, and new works from both a deeply researched and personal perspective will appear here.
