Piano Etudes

The challenge I set for myself was to write an etude using randomly changing dynamics (volumes) while preserving as sense of coherence. I spent a lot of time in my composer laboratory coming up with possibilities, but I rejected them one by one. Finally I conceived this piece. The solution was to balance simple repetition with the complexity of the randomly changing dynamics.
