Preface:
I was inspired to compose 'Jigsaw' after meeting Daniel Berg and watching him perform with Fredrik Duvling (Rhythm Art Duo) online. I love the vitality and energy they bring to their playing and wanted to write a short fun piece for them. This piece uses patterns that groove along throughout the music and fit together in different ways, hence the title 'Jigsaw'.
