Program Notes:
The Ten Bagatelles for piano represent my first compositions ever for solo piano. For a long time, I felt that writing music which I could immediately improvise was artificial and useless. Therefore, when I finally decided to compose short pieces for the piano, I had one main guiding principle: to create music in the manner of a fast sketch, akin to a Japanese painting executed in a single brushstroke. The goal was to capture in conventional music notation what might be improvised on the piano. Each of these short pieces, varying in character and mood, was written in a single composing session to preserve the essence of a quick sketch.
