Sciamachy means shadow fighting or battling with an imaginary enemy, usually for practice or exercise but possibly owing to paranoid delusion or quixotic fantasy. So my piece is a both an etude and a fantasia.
Sciamachy is in two parts, slow then fast. Both sections feature processes which allow the music to gradually unfold, the themes revealing themselves one note at a time but in very different ways.
Schiamachy was composed in 2013 and has a duration of 9'10".
The price includes parts for both performers.
