Improvisations on Loss
10:56 duration|Composed in 2022|Difficulty: Intermediate|First performed: October 2024
The Improvisations on Loss were composed during a particularly challenging time. I live separately from my son, and the handover process after our time together is sometimes very sad. On one of these occasions, I returned home and ‘The Handover’ poured out of me as I sat at the piano. It needed very little editing afterwards, which is why I decided to call these pieces improvisations. My love of melody, minimalism and jazz harmony can be found in these miniatures.
