Misc. Comments
The Alchemy of Solitude was written during my sabbatical break of 2006. I wrote this short but weighty work in order to have a new piano work for me to perform and as a way to explore some new compositional ideas. It is somewhat of an essay on the melancholic, in which a deeply sad melody and mood gain momentum and build to a rhythmic groove and climax, only to fall back to melancholy again.
