Additional Information
Originally written for piano in 2011 as a birthday present for my good friend Kassia Zermon, this suite was later arranged for chamber orchestra over the Summer and Autumn of 2013. Each piece deals with a different aspect of the piano, or music in general, made fairly self-evident from the titles of each movement. As such, the fourth movement, originally entitled 'Thumbs', has been renamed 'Pedal Points', and the final movement, called 'Hands/Fifths' in the piano edition, is here simply called 'Fifths'.
I - Scales
II - Parallels
III - Staccato
IV - Pedal Points
V - Fifths
