- Program Notes
- Steps within Gaps was inspired by the meters and physical image of soldiers marching. This concert march for piano transforms traditional march patterns by using unusual ‘gaps’ and ‘suddenness’: movements, silences, harmonic changes, hand-crossing, and left-right pedalling to create unique patterns. This process is designed for the pianist to create the allusion of ‘marching’ between different ‘spaces’ and produce a new format which lies beyond the traditional military march discipline. During the compositional process, the composer collaborated with a choreographer, Chi-Hsuan Lin, who used the new march materials to create a special dance work for three dancers based on the composer’s background and military training experience.
