When I played “Blues” for my students some of them told me that it sounded like “Thrash Rock on Piano.” [I kind of love that] Others have said it reminds them of some of Ligeti’s etudes. It was actually based on some pretty complex theoretical calculations – cyclical triads and a very broad understanding of what the blues could be. You can read about it all here.
Regardless of what it sounds like, “Blues” is the most technically challenging of my etudes, but I think it’s pretty raucous and fun. Enjoy!
