Daniel Lentz: 51 Nocturnes
Stephen Cohn: Caprice Program note for 51 Nocturnes
Brendan White
Following in the long tradition of nocturnes written for solo piano, Daniel Lentz wrote a series of 51 miniature nocturnes, all strung together to make a single piece of music. There is no break between them and, at times, it is difficult to tell where one ends and another begins. Some are extremely short, only a few seconds long, while the longest is perhaps 30 seconds. &nbsp;Though generally peaceful, the nocturnes convey a sense of restlessness that matches what many experience as they attempt to wind down at night.
The Nocturnes were written to celebrate a friend's 51st birthday.

Program Note for Caprice Stephen Cohn

Caprice was written for Brendan White. Having worked with Brendan in the past, when he premiered another composition of mine, I noticed how quickly he understood complex rhythmic notational and challenging structures. I was very pleased with his interpretation of my work.

While working together, we had some conversations around the idea of over-intellectualized music resulting in works that are neither fun to play nor to listen to. I flashed back to a quote by Suzanne K Langer from her influential book, Problems of Art, which I always remember from my college philosophy class. Paraphrasing her response when asked to define art , "It is the expression of a feeling in a medium that does it more successfully than could be done with language"
So, with all that in mind, Caprice swings in another direction. I pulled ideas from my notebook, some of which were originally written for other instruments, that are the expression of pure energy, playfulness and joy. The first theme, which recurs in a rondo-like fashion, does have some entropic decay and there is one section more contemplative and, perhaps longing, but the joy, energy and playful spirit prevail in the end.
