Half Moon Étude : for piano / Nimrod Borenstein
Other authors:
Borenstein, Nimrod
(Composer)
Description:
The Half Moon Étude was premiered by Sandro Ivo Bartoli on August 9th 2016 at the "Bianchi e Neri Piano Fest Tuscany", Italy.
In contrast with my first Étude (the Ostinato Étude) this composition is generally slow with long lines.
The evocative title allude to the constant crossing of the hands: the left hand travels back and forth above the right hand in a gesture which reminds me of a half moon.
