Bagatelle (2012)
For solo piano
Commissioned by the International Beethoven Festival
Duration: 3 minutes
Bagatelle was commissioned in 2012 by the International Beethoven Project for its Beethoven Festival: REVOLUTION 2012. For this particular project, entitled “Deconstructing Beethoven's Eroica Symphony”, nineteen composers were assigned different fragments from Beethoven’s Symphony No. 3, then asked to compose a piano bagatelle based on the given material. This short work is my contribution: a sliver of the Eroica, whimsically reimagined.
