Quatre hommages au carré (four squared hommages) for two pianos was composed in the spring of 2023. The piece is a revised and extended version of 4 (hommage) études for solo piano. In its initial version (etudes), the work had a pedagogical character. The current version for two pianos has been a journey of exploration for some of the work’s own hidden sonic territories. Not being a set of etudes anymore, the piece is departing from its inherent educational aspect and leans towards a broader sonic and expression spectrum.
