THE BEGINNING
Description: This study works with circular arm movements and trilling patterns for the right hand. The left hand has most of the melodic interest and is mainly involved in sustaining lengthy phrases. Inspired by a story from the Book of Genesis, this study can be appreciated as an expressionist work as well as a technical study. The particular verse that served as inspiration is:
The beginning…
Was without form
and darkness upon
the face of the deep.
The Spirit moved
onto the waters and said:
Let there be light.
