Joshua Rupley - Caspar Rene Hirschfeld: Music for Piano solo

I worked on Musik fur Piano solo in 2017 and 2019. If one wishes to find an extramusical theme in the piece, it could be described as evanescence, or the coming to be, change, and passing of all phenomena. One can find this theme on
various levels: in the overarching structure of the work's seven movements, in each movement itself, and in the individual musical forms.

As a composer, I am pleased that the premiering pianist was also first to record the work, and that on such a wonderful instrument as the F278 by Fazioli. - C. Rene Hirschfeld.

Pianist Joshua Rupley has performed in many cities in Central Europe and the USA and a strong advocate of contemporary music. He has collaborated with several contemporary composers and has already given numerous world premieres, both for piano solo and in ensembles.
