The first étude of Quaderno per Daniel is titled 12 Circles, a recreation of Johann Sebastian Bach’s Prelude in C major (BWV 846). It unfolds as an unbroken movement of sixteenth notes, with each motif doubled, resulting in the repetition of every measure. The étude’s harmony owes to Keith Jarrett’s improvisational style and Maurice Ravel’s constructivism based on sevenths and ninths, while its pulse comes from a varying rhythmic meter across consecutive measures.
A continual downward modulation to the degree immediately below defines 12 Circles. This creates a structure in which measure 60 mirrors the first measure, but transposed downward by a semitone. In this way, twelve repetitions occur using the same transpositional process, each spanning 59 measures. The design gives the player freedom to shape dynamics and phrasing across the work’s harmonic and phraseological development.
12 Circles also serves to improve the player’s manual dexterity. With practice, hand posture may gradually improve, building greater finger independence and strength. The transpositional structure also functions as a technical exercise in fingering.
The present version contains all 12 possible iterations, including the return to the first measure. The piece concludes with three repetitions of the final measure, fading away.
