Impromptu on A-C-D-G

This piano piece was an experiment, composed almost entirely of four notes: A-C-D & G. At the turning point in the composition the four tones are transposed down a fifth to D-F-G-C and chromatic alterations are added, but the piece ends on the same opening four pitches. It begins reflective – focusing on the harmonies of the pitches, then becomes melodic with a primary melody and “improvisatory” runs and melodic developments.

The music for this piece is available for purchase through J.W.Pepper.
