I wrote Exact Change in December, 2011, for Mary Fukushima-Kirdendoll and Jeff Loeffert to premiere at the Saxophone Conference(?) in DC the following month. The full sketch is here. Below, a performance they gave of it at Cortona Sessions the following summer.

Blue Horizon
Blue Horizon was written for the New Music National Young Artist Competition in Chicago in 2013. That competition didn't happen, though Peters did a print run of it. I didn't know it was out until I saw it in a music store in Lexington (and I bought it, of course); I posted a picture of the cover on Instagram, where Holly Roadfeldt saw it, and promptly premiered it in 2019 and did several other performances. Holly's performance at the Avaloch Institute below. The complete sketch is here.

I started a third piano concerto in 2015 at Ragdale and threw all of it away. All of the junk is here.

Mind the Gap (Prélude #17, 2012) is dedicated to John Mackey. N.B. all the préludes in Book II are named Mind the Gap. Complete sketch here, and performance by Yukiko Sekino below.

Terrestrial Planets
Terrestrial Planets (2014) is a concerto for flute and wind ensemble (one professional contact in the wind ensemble world says it's Grade 4, and I don't know what that means) written for Mary Fukushima-Kirkendoll, very very very very quickly. The full sketch is here. Performance recording unavailable.
