"Disconnected" is a short piece for piano. Though the initial key is written with five flats in the staff (for concert D-Flat Major), there is no particular tonal center. The sound that results is modal and pentatonic at times, but the piece never leads to a particular tonic. It represents the "disconnection" of a person from those closest to them. Sometimes, people must disconnect from each other. It is not always easy, either. Disconnection can happen mutually between friends, and it can also happen through betrayal. This piece is primarily written about the possible betrayal that may occur. This explains why a tonic is "betrayed" or "disconnected" from. The piece is written to be played as "Solemnly", and a few measures into the music, the time signature disappears, turning the piece into a cadenza, allowing the performer to interpret the rhythm, tempo, and dynamics as they feel best represents the piece in their own particular mind.Original performance was by the composer at the University of Akron in a studio class of Dr. Larry D. Snider (Distinguished Professor of Percussion).
