Handsomely, Handsomely Now! 5 Impromptus for the Early Part of the Century

Abstract

Based on a 19th century compositional trope popularized by Frédéric Chopin, the impromptus presented here are linked as a storytelling suite. The notion within the impromptu is to seek depth through lightness, as if improvised. The five stories provide metaphors for the conundrum of design education and practice. They engage the reader in interpretation; an open-ended hermeneutic pursuit.
