Concert Etudes I (2011)
by Michael Goodman (b. 1988)

Sangmi Lim, piano


Six etudes that feature a specific technique/style/set of pitches:

I. etude made up of minor 2nds; specifically G# and A.

II. etude representing E Major and E Dominant 7 Chord. (not performed this evening)

III. etude showcasing a battle between major and minor chords. In this case: Bb major and Bb minor. In addition, both Bb major and Bb minor reference a few quotations from orchestral works.

IV. etude that displays minimalism among three pitches (e-f-g)

V. etude that uses five pitches in a call-and-response setting within a thick texture (eb-f-gb-g-a)

VI. the study of the pedal. Creates thick textures that can result in soft harmonics from the combination of various pitches.
