Opus. 7 is a collection of pieces presented as a volume of Etudes for solo violin. The ‘character studies’ find their allegorical inception within the literary works of Shakespeare. These etudes are gestural, lyrical, somewhere between the airs and recitar cantando hypothesized by the Florentine Camerata of 1573 and later imagined to strikingly inventive scale for the instrumental suite under the hand of the class of 1685(Bach, Handel, Scarlatti, and their imitators).

Extrapolated between each of these character studies are Dance movements designed to approach the newly emerging research presented within the ‘metric theory’ school(Cohn, Mirka, Just) and how such theories both establish harmonic articulation, codify dissonances, and underpin teleological form.
