In ten minutes, starting from a simple one-octave A major scale, this piece explores the history of Western music. The scale starts out as the cantus firmus of a counterpoint exercise and It then develops into the subject of a Bach fugue. It continues its journey through the timeline of classical music from the Baroque period to the twentieth century. The scale is woven into the harmonies and melodies of this musical scavenger hunt in a subtle way. This all-in-one etude, nocturne, fugue, and impromptu challenges and showcases the technique, creativity, and musicality of the pianist.
