EPISODES was composed for Itzhak Perlman who premiered the work in 2004. The composer has written: "Episodes is in two movements, marked Arioso, a song-like movement calling for a rich singing sound; and Vivace, a dance-like and blazing second movement. Throughout its distinguished history, the violin has been one of the prime celebrants of both aspects of our humanity. Episodes offers a musical salute to this dual nature of the violin in a mutual exploration with the piano."
