A curious child climbs up to the attic and discovers a jumble of boxes, trunks, old clothes, and dusty junk. There, a black leather case catches her eye. She pries it open and finds inside an old Violin - her grandmother's from high school. Sitting on the floor, she tunes the strings and tightens the bow. As she draws the bow across the strings, the Violin becomes alive with music. To her delight, she discovers more and more treasures in the attic. Staccato rain plays on the roof just above where she looks through her trove of riches, playing a new melody with each discovery...John Walker has composed a new series of short recital and study pieces set in a magical world. Specially designed for the intermediate-level musician, these 20 works evoke the spirit of musical discovery while helping students learn new phrasing, fingerings and articulations. A welcome addition to every student's library, this musical adventure will both teach and entertain. / Violon

The Kreutzer Sonata was originally dedicated not to Rudolphe Kreutzer (who never performed it) but to George Bridgetower, a famed 18th-century Afro-European concert violinist. In an early draft, Beethoven jokingly labeled the piece in starkly racialized terms: Sonata Mulattica composed for the mulatto Brischdauer, big wild mulatto composer.Beethoven and Bridgetower performed the premiere, which was by all accounts a success, and even featuring some improvised embellishment by the violinist. While celebrating afterwards, the two quarreled about what Beethoven construed as Bridgetower's insult of a female acquaintance; the composer then revoked the original dedication, adding Kreutzer's name instead. The work gained acclaim, while Bridgetower's career languished; he eventually died in poverty.Bridgetower has been the subject of considerable research and speculation, most notably in poet Rita Dove's book, Sonata Mulattica. From our 21st-century vantage, considering Bridgetower's unique circumstance, we can only see him as an ambiguous figure who, in embodying difference, provoked inspiration, fantasy, desire, anger and, finally, erasure.My piece is a collection of imaginings about George Bridgetower. It is not programmatic, but it takes on an episodic character, assembled from contrasting fragments. The dance rhythms, recurring figures and gestural contours are intended to feature the embodied expertise and expressivity of the performers, who at times must access liminal sounds and execute complex synchronies. I am grateful to Jenny Koh and Shai Wosner for involving me in their beautiful, virtuosic music-making.
