"The title of Chester Biscardi's Finding Beauty in Small Places was, serendipitously, enunciated by a friend of the composer's describing the work's evolution. It aptly describes the way that the guitar can create beauty in a single chord or a brief melody. As the work progresses, the ideas lengthen somewhat, always arriving at a moment of beauty."

"Chester Biscardi’s 'Finding Beauty in Small Places' (2021) follows the advice of its title by using the composer’s breath to shape its musical gestures."
