This work collects together basic musical gestures, and while not aiming at completeness, the twelve movements nevertheless form a loose cycle. They are compositional studies, insofar as they explore the ultimate limits of musical density, but also instrumental studies in the traditional sense: each individual movement sets a precisely defined technical and intellectual task for the performer. (Jessica Collewijn) Das Stück vereinigt musikalische Grundgesten in sich, wobei die zwölf Sätze - wenn auch ohne Anspruch auf Vollständigkeit - einen lockeren Zyklus bilden. Es handelt sich um kompositorische Etüden, wenn man nach den äußersten Grenzen musikalischer Knappheit forscht, aber auch um instrumentale Etüden im üblichen Sinne, denn jeder einzelne Satz weist dem Interpreten eine genau umrissene technische und intellektuelle Aufgabe zu.

“Four Studies was written for Angela and Jennifer Chun in 2014. Each movement has a drone which lasts for the duration of the movement. The first bar of movements 1 and 4 can be quite long. The drone should remain loosely indifferent to the other part, avoiding any overly-dramatic commentary. That having been said, the droning player should feel free to subtly and constantly change the nature of the sound. Rests are meant to be played freely, expanding and contracting as the spirit moves the soloists, but the notes should be played in relatively even time. The space between the movements can work either with very short pauses or with no pauses at all; this is left up to the discretion of the performers.” – Nico MuhlyApproximately 12 minutes.
