Program note
These eleven miniatures for piano solo are all inspired by my classmates in high school. They were composed in spring 2015 and premiered by Linn Bertland at Malmö Academy of Music on the 7th of May 2015. The last miniature (The Stressed Artist) is a self portrait of me at the age of 17. Have fun imagining all the characters!
