Two Piano Preludes was written for David McGrory and premiered at Williams Hall, Boston, in 2001. This was the first piece composed in the United States as a student at Mr. Gandolfi’s Composition Studio in the New England Conservatory. The first movement, Glide Reflection, delicately caresses the harmonic world of triads inviting the listener to taste that flavor. The second movement, Machine Tools, comes from a motive that came to life six years before the writing of the piece, while improvising at the piano one winter afternoon in Barcelona.
