Stay Close
Stay Close, a theme started during the pandemic in 2020, and then developed in 2023, evolves organically from an "interrupted fugue" in the first part to a Finale in choral form. The piece reflects personal struggles and nostalgia, with its title drawn from a private note in the composer’s sketchbook.
