These “tasty snacks” grew out of a period of daily sketching. Any one of them or a grouping of several might be played as encores. These eight were chosen and arranged in this order from a group of 12 or 13 originally.

She played the first performance of these at the Salon of Andrea Clearfield, in Philadelphia, 2007.
