Aaron Cassidy - 10 Monophonic Miniatures for Solo Pianist

performer Ian Pace "When working on and performing Wieland’s piece, I was thinking so strongly ‘THIS is why I play new music’. It’s so incredibly rewarding to feel one has played a part in making something genuinely new and visionary possible. It was similar with a set of pieces called ten monophonic miniatures for pianist by the young American composer Aaron Cassidy written for me a few years ago, in which he explored a wide range of new oblique techniques for striking the piano keys (some very difficult in their sequences, and others a bit painful!) so as to foreground the parameter of ‘key noise’, building upon some of my ideas on this subject." Ian Pace Aaron Cassidy's "Ten Monophonic Miniatures" are composed under the presupposition that, besides dynamics in their standard form (e.g. ppp, mf, sffz) and durational discrepancies (e.g. staccato, legato, sostenuto), the form of attack placed on the keyboard has a distinct, recurring and static effect on the tone and color of the sound produced. This is a continuation of theories and compositional techniques Richard Barrett, Vinko Globokar, Alain Louvier and Ian Pace were using at the time, taken to a somewhat extreme level, such as but not limited to using knuckles, fingernails, palms in various positions or specific striking maneuvers under the notion that it would create a slightly different tone than normal performance of the instrument would Aaron Cassidy's Ten Monophonic Miniatures for Solo Pianist requires the performer to attack the piano in a variety of novel ways, striking with the fingers, knuckles, and fingernails in a choreography that is both aural and visual It is hardest piece among Tract by Richard Barrett or when the panting STARTS by Wieland Hoban, it could sound somwhat easy but, as you can hear ( if you increase the volume you could apparently hear it) there are fingernail striking or muting, scraping etc noises, and as Ian said, it is painful regarding those techniques and articulations or dynamics. I tried this piece regarding to following performance notes including the notation. After analyzing the piece, I could not perform it well, because there are extremely painful elements and other pianistic or musical demands
