Duration: 6'\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBetween\u003c\/em\u003e was commissioned as a short companion piece to Claude Debussy's \u003cem\u003eÉtudes\u003c\/em\u003e. Each of Debussy's études focuses on a different technical challenge that a pianist strives to master in their study of the instrument. in my piece, I focus on the challenge of playing \"inside the piano,\" a practice that has become common in the hundred years since the publication of Debussy's work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI conceived of my piece as a dialogue between contrasting sounds and ways of engaging with the instrument: between the piano's tempered tuning and its natural overtone harmonics, and between playing on the piano's keys and upon its strings and structural beams. \"e piece follows the form of a lyrical chorale that crisscrosses and leaps across the piano's range. It's the pianist's task to always sing the lyrical line amidst the technical challenges posed—finding meaning in what lies in between.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBetween\u003c\/em\u003e takes chorales and harmonies from my previous composition, \u003cem\u003eIn Between\u003c\/em\u003e for chamber orchestra, and re-imagines them in the guise of a solo piano piece. I see this piece as a companion to the last three of Debussy's études, which focus on opposing sonorities, arpeggios and chords. \u003cem\u003eBetween\u003c\/em\u003e was commissioned by Bucknell University for pianist Qing Jiang.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Just a Theory Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43160212602959,"sku":"153-081-FS","price":30.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/1828\/files\/682cd92fa857c9c612a4e837d7c8c5b4.jpg?v=1749572653","url":"https:\/\/www.ficksmusic.com\/zh\/products\/nathan-between-just-theory","provider":"Ficks Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
