Story behind the song
Much of jazz music revolves around seventh chords. This Parallel Seventh piece is thus deeply aligned with jazz.
Because parallel sevenths are very difficult to play at a fast tempo on the piano, this piece, wanting to be played rather than sit on a shelf as a technical curiosity, keeps itself to a very comfortable, even lazy tempo.
This Parallel Seventh piece was left unfinished in 1984, and thus the whole collection was left unfinished, until 25 years later. I don’t know why it took me 25 years to finish this simple little piece.
