Week In, Week Out: Seven One-A-Day Piano Pieces

Week In, Week Out: Seven One-A-Day Piano Pieces

piano

Composer's Note:

These seven short pieces correspond to days of the week, suggesting a sequence of pianistic work-life concepts designed to engage the curious intermediate to advanced keyboard aficionado. The pieces can be played individually, in pairs or short sets, or as a full ‘week’ of music. I can envision seven pianists playing one each, one pianist playing all seven, or any other combination of performers and pieces in between.

The titles of the pieces are hopefully self-explanatory. I wonder if pianists and listeners who encounter Week In, Week Out will, as the titles suggest, find Sunday a time for careful education, Monday a starting gate, Tuesday a time for ease, Wednesday an oasis for thoughts to settle in, Thursday a hands-down time for new questioning, Friday a moment to quickly disappear, and Saturday a time for elevation.
