Dig deeper into the Perpetual Motion Etudes
The Perpetual Motion Etudes are unique works made by and for a 21st century musician. In true 21st century fashion, composer Jeremy Siskind has chosen to give you, the player, uncommon access to the making and shaping of these works.
On this page, you can listen to him talk about the genesis and challenges of each etude, download Jeremy’s hand-marked scores, and view his blog posts about recording with the DIsklavier, integrating improvisation and through-composed materials, and aspiring to find flow.
