about

“When you think you have a clear idea of a composer’s purpose, suddenly you realize that something is hiding behind it, and behind it, again and again, and so on. I will keep playing William’s music for a long time, as it piques my curiosity and I have so much to learn from him!” declared composer and pianist Francesco Di Fiore in 2012.

Quiet Rhythms, Book 1, Nos. 1 - 11 were composed in 2010. Quiet Rhythms is a series of short piano pieces that are written in pairs consisting of a prologue and action. In creating each pair, the action is composed first and is syncopated and rhythmic. The prologue uses the same harmonic patterns of the action but is non-syncopated or “smooth”.

The prologue is performed first before the action of the same number. Each book contains 11 prologues and actions and, currently there are four books.

Francesco Di Fiore, pianist and composer, was born in Palermo. He launched his professional career in 1986, performing hundreds of concerts worldwide. In 1993 he won the “XV Internationales Kammermusik Festival Austria Waldviertel” in Horn, Austria. His album Pianosequenza features piano music in film, including Susman’s score to When Medicine Got It Wrong.
