Composer's Note:
This piece was written for Thomas Stumpf, for his 2-CD solo piano recording with Albany Records called "Reflections on Time and Mortality." I dedicate this piece to him with heartfelt gratitude and admiration.
The piece is called "One at a Time" because it consists exclusively of arpeggios, so only one note is played at a time. There are no chords, dyads or simultaneous attacks in the piece.
The title also relates to my own reflections on time, and how I try to spend the moments in my life. Over the past fifteen years, I have studied mindfulness meditation, which emphasizes living in the present moment with kindness. Tara Brach, my meditation teacher, has been an inspiration as I wrote this piece, and I would like to thank her for helping me to cultivate the ability to live one moment at a time.
