Piano Solo

Level: Intermediate

“‘Forgotten’ was written for my daughter Elena, watching her journey between young girl and teenager. The music is meant to be a bit nostalgic, and represents the navigation of her letting go of childhood. What may have held her attention before, such as a doll or her favorite music box, now might be something more adult, more current. I tried to use larger, sometimes more dissonant intervals in the very simple melody to represent two paths… perhaps one which we all want to hold on to, and one we perhaps want to embrace going forward.”
