Dear Friend,
This year marks a very special anniversary for my Collection of music, which is now ten years old. Compared to other composers, it feels insignificant — eleven pieces and a few scattered handfuls of performances. But art isn’t about comparison, it simply presents itself as the intimate expression that it is.
A small part of me is in every note, and each new performance means just as much as the very first. In celebrating a decade of work, I’d like to share these acknowledgements, which hold a particular significance.
