Work introduction
Creation for solo piano is a work of contemplation and fulfillment. It can certainly be viewed as inspired by the description in the Bible of the beginning of all things. It can also be thought of as the start of beauty and inspiration.
Creation depicts how things reach out and become something other than as they were when first conceived. Creation is a work pointing to the infinite and never completing. From the impetus of creativity comes creation.
