Abstract
Twelve Bagatelles is a collection of short autobiographical pieces that depict a single mood, event, or facet of my life. The topics range from an unsuccessful attempt at fixing the kitchen faucet to listening to jazz guitarist Pat Metheny to sneaking to the kitchen for a mid-night snack while trying not to wake the baby. Others depict running laps through the house with our three year-old daughter, and my feelings for my wife. After completing the first half of this set, I realized that each piece seemed to hover to a different tonal center. Since I was planning on having twelve pieces all together, I decided to continue the trend and give each it's own tonal gravitation making the set one big tone-row. I am not a practitioner of traditional twelve-tone techniques, but the row created by each pieces tonal center created an irresistible jazz lick that I included in number 10. While I am sure that my tonal twelve-tone techniques have caused Schoenberg an involuntary turn in his grave, I have thoroughly enjoyed this twist on his methods.
