How'd I compose...
With this piece (as with most of my pieces) the main theme just came to me as i was doing my daily improv on the piano. I sketched out the main themes and then from there I would sit on finale and just wait for ideas to pop into my head and punched them straight into finale. Even though it would have been smarter to make a two piano score to this piece first I orchestrated everything as I went. When I would get stuck i would go to the piano and play up to my stopping point till something came into my fingers that worked then i would just sit down and write it all out and wait for more ideas to come to me. Does that help? I have maybe two pages of actual hand written sketch of the whole piece...other than that it was all written in front of the computer screen. Its very hard to explain the process I go through....things just pop into my head....
