“The Hand Without the Fingers Is Just a Spoon” was one of the pieces I wrote as a student at Oberlin Conservatory. It was a piano suite, made up of diatonic motifs, repeated and varied within a rhythmic structure. In keeping with its diatonic foundation, it was structured mostly around the number 7.
I have a certain fondness for it, and finally decided in 2012 to revisit it and spruce it up a bit.
