Program Notes:

In 1995, while residing in Jerusalem, I was in the midst of composing a chamber work that included the guitar. Ideas for a solo piece started to emerge during this time. Soon, I found myself composing a prelude and a set of variations, a process that was quite challenging for me, as I do not play the guitar. The variations are not to be taken in the traditional sense of melodic development over a fixed form. Instead, they are based on fragments or motives from the prelude.
