Minim
is an improvised piece on six notes for the right and left hands.
The single measure of notes is repeated without pitch, tempo or
rhythmic change
for as long as desired by the performer. Variation is created with
the
shift of patterns produced by accents, change of dynamics and style,
right
versus left hand, and use of pedals. Influences: African xylophone
playing,
Terry Riley's piano improvisations on Indian ragas in just intonation,
connection with Steve Reich and his music, and my desire to conceive a
piano
piece significantly different from existing solo piano literature. Brent Heisinger
