I can't play this piece. My primary instrument is piano, but primarily I compose. These days, I play for myself, by myself, for the sheer joy of playing (and I make a lot of mistakes). Errata is an attempt to publicly correct these mistakes. Musical material is transformed by my own inability to play it, then reorganized into a (hopefully) more musically compelling result.
