commissioned by and dedicated to David Kalhous photo by Mona Aipperspach Note by the composer: How to make a connection between Hindewhu, the musical style of Ba-Benzélé Pygmies and Yishtabakh, one of the main Klezmer modes? How to apply their principles on the typical way of playing piano, including its classical as well as jazz, rock and pop clichés? And to shape that all into a cohesive and fluent form of the precise tonal scheme and time structure, development as well as stagnation and elements supporting as well as opposing each other? Hindyish wants to be the answer and a new question at the same time.
