These were written in the summer and autumn of 2014, as a result of a delay with a new opera commission. The catalyst was a request from MELVYN TAN for a virtuoso addition to his ongoing VARIATIONS for JUDITH project, which resulted in the ninth Prelude in Ab - 'Bist du bei mir....aber halte dich fest'. The other pieces followed swiftly. Though abstract, unusual in my work as a whole, the whole set shares thematic links, and material resurfaces and repeats throughout, resulting in a tight knit cycle of related pieces.
