Jeremy Siskind - Perpetual Motion Etudes for Piano (2020)

9 artist-level etudes in the perpetual motion style. The book includes both through-composed etudes and “Optional Improvisation Instructions” so that the works can be played either by a classically-trained pianist or a jazz pianist.

Pianist Spencer Myer writes, “In the “Perpetual Motion Etudes” of Jeremy Siskind, one finds a unique blend of harmonic colors, emotional journeys, and great technical demands. Through the use of a great variety of techniques, from polyrhythms to rapid hand-crossings, Siskind has created a set of pianistic paintings in which the pianist can become totally absorbed, in both the learning and performance processes. His ear for atmosphere makes for what will be an essential and standard set of studies for pianists, both classical and jazz, for years to come.”
