about

I wrote this piece during my freshman year in college (on a Saturday, in March, no less, hence the title). In high school I had been inspired after listening to a few early 20th-century composers, including Claude Debussy, George Gershwin, Aaron Copland, and Igor Stravinsky, which led to a flurry of piano fantasias, symphonies, and concerti (piano and otherwise), many of which were unfinished. I started breaking from that in college (outside the classroom, anyway, when I was composing for myself). One goal was to try to jot down what a piece would sound like if I wrote like I improvised. After all, prior to college, I tended to compose one way, and improvise another way. Saturday in March was the first of a few pieces where I tried different ways of recording and notating an improvisation I had done.

This track was created and mixed in GarageBand, with a simple piano patch and minimal effects.
