Childhood Jumbled for two pianos: MLD - P02
Written originally as a bitonal sketch, this intermediate level piece for two pianos combines two fairly similar keys to create a piece that sounds almost tonal. After my son was diagnosed with both auditory processing and sensory integration disorder, I wrote this piece to depict childhood through the eyes of a child who sees the world a bit differently than the majority of his peers. The piece is still an upbeat, happy, and fun song because“different” does not mean flawed.
