These Three Meditations invite both performer and listener into an introspective sound world. Each piece explores a different facet of contemplation — from the atmospheric Mystical Dreams to the tender Reverie and the flowing lyricism of Lyrical Journey. Their harmonic richness and quiet intensity create a reflective arc that feels almost like a personal narrative. I find them deeply satisfying to play, as they draw the listener inward rather than outward, offering a space for calm reflection amid the programme’s contrasts.

Inspired by Bach’s Inventions Nos. 1, 8, 13 & 14. In this work, I revisit some of Bach’s Two-Part Inventions and expand them into Four-Part Inventions, building upon his contrapuntal foundations with two newly composed voices. This transformation opens up a richer harmonic and textural landscape while preserving Bach’s original spirit of clarity and dialogue. The result is both homage and reinvention — the timeless logic of Bach’s counterpoint reinterpreted through modern harmony and pianistic colour. I see these pieces not as reconstructions but as living conversations with Bach’s ingenuity, exploring how his concise musical ideas can blossom into broader, more contemporary forms.

This suite lives up to its title — a kaleidoscope of moods, textures, and styles. Summer Rain opens with shimmering delicacy, while Catch & Grab brings playful rhythmic energy. Study in a Bach Prelude bridges centuries again, weaving Bach-inspired motifs into modern harmonic language. Mesmeric lingers in hypnotic stillness before the exuberant finale, Hommage Bartók-nak, pays spirited tribute to Bartók’s rhythmic drive and folk-inflected harmonies. Together, the movements form a vibrant journey through contrast and character — a fitting close to the recital.
