With the “Fingertip Dancesâ€, Gerald Resch joins a long tradition of composers who have written pieces for their own children and, in so doing, have immersed themselves in childlike worlds of images and experiences. Mila, Gerald Resch's daughter and the dedicatee of the “Fingertip Dancesâ€, received them as a special present for her ninth birthday: she is able to call her own these thirteen little pieces that have gained considerable attention through their variety of musical ideas and pianistic challenges. Following the original version for piano (SIK 1708), a selection of eight pieces for youth ensemble is now available as part of the edition series “exempla nova – for the young.†Gerald Resch arranged these eight pieces of the (13) “Fingertip Dances†in response to a commission of the “Brücken-Festival†in Mürzzuschlag 2015. All text in German.
