Description:

  • Release: 01.07.2024
  • Genre: Classical Music, Classical Music of the Modern Age
Sami's Piece was written for a jazz musician, and should be played with a jazz feel (and a nod to polyrhythmic Balkan folk music). It's an exuberant work, relatively short, but dizzying, full of surprises, musical humor, and changes of atmosphere.

It was premiered in 2003 at the Hirzenberg Festival in Zofingen, Switzerland, by the Swiss pianist Samuel Wettstein, to whom the work is dedicated.


Performing notes
> Attentive use of the pedals to control resonance and legato will prevent blurriness.
> When played on an upright piano that is slightly out of tune, the work gains an unexpected charm.
> As is customary, accidentals remain valid until the end of the measure in which they appear.
