SKU: S0.350317
Composed by Salim Haddad. 21st Century,Contemporary Classical,Post-Romantic,Modern. Score. 8 pages. Published by Salim Haddad (S0.350317).A piece inspired by the piano music of Kaikhosru Sorabji. I was also influenced by the atonal piano music of Boulez, Xenakis and Skalkottas, namely Piano Sonata No. 2, Herma and the Passacaglia respectively. "Calidoscopium" is Latin for Kaleidoscope, because of the different styles and patterns. The most technically difficult sections can be heard at 0:39 and beginning at 1:51 on the accompanying audio recording (0:36 and 1:48 on the YT video recording). It would be a good idea to leave something in reserve for the latter section! A challenging piece, but a rewarding one to learn and play.

I am mainly self-taught on the piano, having started this instrument at the age of 20 and worked on my own for six years, before taking occasional lessons for around two years. I also taught myself composition, which is of great interest to me, and I have written music for both piano and pipe organ.
