Five Miniatures was conceived as a non-developmental collection of tiny ideas, hence the title, and the lack of rambling program notes. While movements 1, 3, and 5 are quite closely related, movements 2 and 4 serve as contrasting interludes that give space and variety to the piece's overall structure. More specifically, the third movement was composed in such a way that each instrument’s part can stand alone - these parts are therefore used separately as the first and last movements of the piece. Five Miniatures was composed for cellist Evan Kahn. Hear it, See it, Buy it on MusicSpoke. https://musicspoke.com/downloads/five-miniatures
